[newbie] can't mount floppy, Input/output error

[Donnie Green]

I just loaded up Linux-Mandrake 7.1 and the floppy drive will not mount.

The error that I receive is:
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/fd0: Input/output error

The entry in /etc/fstab for my floppy is:
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto sync,user,noauto,nosuid,nodev,unhide 0 0

Can anyone help me?
