Can someone tell me why I can't mount a Windows floppy containing a

mount /dev/fd0
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: you must specify the filesystem type
so I tried mount -t vfat /dev/fd0
but that doesn't work!
I put the following in /etc/fstab
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto defaults,noauto 0 0
which may not be correct? I tried to follow what I see in a Centos4.4
box that does read the floppy directory, but messed around with the
default,noauto.
Try the following in /etc/fstab;
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync
0 0
I feel like a rat in a maze after spending the whole morning trying to
retrieve the file from an old doggy Windows 98 computer that must have
crashed twenty times and refuses to recognize a mouse. Windows without
a mouse is a real exercise, for me anyway!
Thanks.

I will try as you suggest for the stab entry, I need to research those
term and find out what I'm doing with them.
