Unmount floppy?
SuSE 9. When I insert a virgin floppy into the drive, I can write data to it, and as long as I leave it in the drive, I can read it, but when I remove the disk and then insert it again, the drive light comes on and does something to the disk because the data is no longer there when I "open" it, and yet when I try to write anything to it (including overwriting the document I had just put on it) it says access denied. Now there is something in the SuSE book about unmounting the drive before removing the disk to preserve the data, but how do you do that? And then do I have to remount it when I put it back in to make it useable? And if so, how do I do that? I am a total newbie so please answer in simple terms :-)
Thanks,
Karl
