To format a floppy?...
I have a floppy that was used in a windows run system. I would like to format it in linux platform.
When I tried to mount the floppy, I got the message that the file system was not specified. Later, when I retried again using the command : "mount -a /mnt/floppy" mounting did not take place, though I was sent to the command prompt. What do I do? Mufy |
don't mount the floppy and issue this command:
Code:
mke2fs /dev/fd0 the man page would be::: man tune2fs for more options |
Thanks a lot dude. Appreciate it. I'd loved to have addressed you by your name. Anyway, thanks again '320mb'.

also: your floppy should be listed in your /etc/fstab
simply do this to mount your floppy Code:
mount /dev/fd0 Code:
umount /dev/fd0; mke2fs /dev/fd0; mount /dev/fd0 For that, look @ this thread. |
