I have searched all = over the Internet for a solution to my problem and I have not found an = answer. You are my last resort. =20 For a long time I always mounted the floppy drive by typing, "mount = /dev/fd0 /floppy," and it worked fine. Then one day I rebooted the = system without unmounting 'fd0,' and now I cannot access it. =20 I have tried different command combinations and nothing works. =20 I keep on getting the following error: mount: /dev/fd0: Device not configured Later after researching my problem, I found out that I could have used = 'mtools' all along. When I tried using 'mtools,' to access the 'fd0' I = get the following error: plain_io: Device not configured init A: could not read boot sector cannot initialize 'A:' Do you have any suggestions. I would really appreciate it if you can = help out. Fortuna
