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/fstab
Grep 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.
