No matter how many floppy disks I insert and/or how many
times I move the tab on the disk, I am unable to copy any
information onto it. Help!

Sounds as if the floppy drive has failed and needs to be replaced.

Hi,

You may want to test a CD-R as no one uses the A:\ Floppy Drive anymore
because the media is magnetic not as the more reliable CDs
