Subject: Unable to use floppy dirve
Hello,
I have not used my floppy drive in a long time. However, when I
did a recent clean install of Fedora Core 5 and had to copy a file to a
floppy, the drive did not appear on the desktop. I had put the floppy
into the drive and the system does not seem to recognize that there is a
floppy there. There is no floppy icon, nothing. I also see that I have
the same problem on my laptop (which has Fedora Core 5 installed on it
also).
Doesn't anyone know how to correct this situation? It seems that
the system is not recognizing the floppy dirve at all.
Jeff
Try the following
[olivares@localhost ~]$ gnome-mount -d /dev/fd0
if that does not work, mount it as root
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir -p /media/floppy
[root@localhost ~]# mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
if the above gives you error messgage then specify filesystem type msdos, vfat,etc
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
Regards,
Antonio
