Hi JunkYard
First see if the system detected the floppy:

Code: [Select]

grep '/dev/fd' /etc/fstabIf grep doesn't give a response, then do this:

Code: [Select]

sudo modprobe floppy
sudo rebuildfstab
grep '/dev/fd' /etc/fstabGrep should print something like this:

Code: [Select]

/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0 auto noauto,users,exec,umask=000 0 0 # Added by TCIf you get that response, start the mount tool.
It should now have a button labeled  fd0.
Insert a formatted floppy disk and click the  fd0  button.
