---

I got a problem in my friend's pc, an error message says "Disk is write protected".... When I am trying to browse or open a diskette, a message will appear telling that the diskette is not formatted, and asking if i want to format it right now.. when i click ok, an exclamation message will appear that that the "disk is write protected" and i cannot format... upon checking the diskette whether it is write enabled or disabled... naka enabled man siya.... and the same thing happen kung ako ilisan ug laing diskette...i used the diskette to other pc kay i have been thinking tingalig guba ang mga diskette ani, then okay ra man siya mabasa ra man siya... i try to remove the floppy drive and test to other cpu, then mobasa ra man siya ug mga diskette... is this a problem with motherboard? wala man problem sa OS, kay normal man sa booting and even when closing in windows... and try to figure out sa device manager, okay ra man siya, wala man siya conflict... and my friend decided nga i format lang daw niya ang pc, if gani wala koy makita nga solusyon ani... i try also looking it the BIOS setup if it is detected or not.. na detect ra man siya..... i know this a windows problem, tingalig naa lay na disabled or something ba ani.... please help..

is there any way to modify the registry? i mean the value of registry, and how to keep that back in default?

mr. tamblot, you mean if i use administrator rights, still we can disabled the formatting options of a floppy drive? if that so, where we can enabled that options... all i know if you have an administrator rights, you have no exception, unless for other users, such as power user, guest, etc.....

i have already try changing floppy drives, and finally reformatted the operating system... mao lang gihapon mga bros, dili gihapon siya maka open ug diskette... error message is wrte protected daw and sometimes walay message pero dugay kaayo mo hang up pa ang PC....

Said floppy drives are tested (good) since it is already used from my other pc... pero if i will tranfer his floopy drive to my pc then his floppy drive will work fine... more probably the problem is the motherboard itself... pero wala man gyod problema sa OS... when i installed a fresh copy of windows xp, okay ra man ang installation setup until it finishes the installation.. wala gyod error.. mao lang gyod ni ang problema ang iyang floppy drive....
