From: Mani on 12 Jan 2010 10:18 Hi All, Is there any way to check whether the floppy disk is write protected or not? Currently I'm writing a file in floppy disk and check the error message for write protected(ERROR_WRITE_PROTECT) Is there any other method to check the status of floppy disk Thanks, Mani
