Floppies won't write

I have a problem with floppies, they won't write. I can read fine but they won't write. I have tried 3 new floppy drives and none write. My other Vista desktop has the same problem, it's a P4 3.2EE. My laptop with Vista reads and writes floppies OK.
What can the matter be?

Have you tried several disks instead of drives?

What do you need the floppy's for in this day and age anyways?

RAID drivers is all i ever use mine for, and a BIOS update one time.

I have always found floppies to be unreliable, so I am not surprised.

have you checked the tabs to make sure they didnt get moved to write protection?

How did we live with these things for 20+ years?

Anyway, sounds like a drivers or floppy disk issue. I cant imagine all 3 drives having the same exact problem.
