I tried a simple command of formatting a floppy drive #fdformat /dev/fd0 It comes up with an output Errors encountered: cyl Head Sect Error 0 0 1 no address mark in ID field 0 1 1 no address mark in ID field 1 0 1 no address mark in ID field 1 1 1 no address mark in ID field etc I tried the command fdformat /dev/fd0.1440 and fdformat -f 1440 /dev/fdo but the result is the same. Am I doing something wrong? I am using freebsd 5.1. I had no such problems when I was using version 4.0 Verghese George
