After installing a new floppy disk drive (which hardware
manager etc claims to be ok), my computer claims that all
disks I put in are write-protected, which I know not to be
the case. Neither will it write data to CDs (though it
will copy audio CDs.) Any idea what the problem might be?

Ok then it sounds like your Floppy disk could be faulty
try a diffrent floppy disk in your computer and see if you
still get the error if so then try a format and re install
windows as it could be ramdomly reporting errors because
of a faulty or corrupt part of windows...

As for teh CD thing well try using a diffrent writing
program such as Nero or Easy CD creator and see what
happens... again try teh format and see what happens if no
luck with the diffrent software....

HTH
