Linux versus floppy

I gotta problem with writing to the floppy with Linux. The facts are:

-- I'm using Mandrake 8.2.
-- Reading from floppy is no problem.
-- When I try to write to floppy, it seems to start to write but 
keyboard and mouse go dead, and I can't do anything except reboot.
-- Permissions as shown with right click --> properties are okay.
-- No problem writing to floppy with Windows NT4. (I transfer stuff from 
Linux to a Windows directory and then transfer it from Windows to 
floppy.)

What's happening?  How can I fix this?
