did you format the floppy for linux, which probably cause less problems ??
try a: mak2fs /dev/fd0 mount -t ext2 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy it may differ as you most likely have /dev/floppy pointing to your /dev/fd0.. etc etc.. but formatting the floppy in linux, you can mount it with the ext2 or whatever filesystem type you format it as.. or if you didn't format it and it was dos formatted, you can mount it using that filesystem type.. -trickykid |
thanks
Forgot to say that i have mandrake installed for the time being .
The line you told me (mak2fs /dev/fd0) got me a command not found ( tried as root too) and the second one : Quote:

First, you need to copy your data to a new location, because when you mount your floppy at /mnt/floppy, you won't be able to see your data. Next, make sure your floppy is formatted for msdos. Then try to mount it using
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy. |
I wouldnt even bother worrying about mounting it.
To format: mformat a: To list the contents: mdir a: To copy files to it: mcopy /local_dir/file1.html a: That way you're sure you can use it on a Windoze box too. Pretty simple actually. |
