floppy help plz
 

i can get data of my floppy however it isnt set up or something of thr sort to allow me to write to my floppy. How do i set up my floppy drive so i can read and write to it. thx.

Have a look at you're /etc/fstab file. The entry for the floppy device may be set wrong - you'll need to have a "rw" part in the options. You probably also want to have "user" set as well so that you can use the device without being root.

Oh, and if you get stuck with the file, then check out "man fstab".

thx, it worked, but now i have yet another question. From my desktop i right clicked and went to add a floppy device shortcut to my desktop, but when i click on it to access floppy i get this error:
/root/Desktop/Floppy Device
is of type FSDevice but has no Dev=_entry.
What does this mean, and how can i get my desktop shortcut to floppy working?

Try editing the properties. You are probably required to enter the path to the device, which will likely just be /dev/fd0 etc.
