mount: block device is write-protected

IBM R30
External Floppy
Fedora Core 2
Newbie

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

mount: block device is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: /dev/fd0: can't read superblock

ls -al fd0
brw-rw-rw- 1 talisman floppy 2, 0 Feb 24 2004 fd0

Fedora Core 2 on my Desktop has no problems reading/writing to the floppy.
Changing the tab's position did nothing

Hi, why do I keep getting this..? Cheers.
