unable to mount location (no media in the drive) in UBUNTU 10.10

JBerrios · 01-12-2011, 10:10 PM

I installed Ubuntu 10.10 in a Sony Booknote (old one) everything works but the Floppy. Just for a couple application I need the floppy drove to work. I have try couple things but still not working. I can see the floppy (in Computer) and it runs/spins the media but it does not mount it.... I can't write or read form it.

Thanks.

Hi welcome to LQ. Check there may be problem in your floppy drive or in the bus connection.
