Hi, I searched around but didn't really find answers to me question, 
just others having the same problem...
When I try to write to my floppy drive from an XP Virtual Machine hosted 
on debian etch I get the M$ error that the floppy disk is write protected.

I am able to read and list files on the floppy though...

I guess I just have to figure out the correct permissions to change for 
/dev/fd0 ? which is what VirtualBox is looking at.

Does this sound about right, if so anyone know what permissions I should 
grant.

Thanks,
Eric
