It could mean that there's no such driver in the kernel (which is apparently not the problem in your case), but it could happen for quite many other problems, like a missing medium etc. The Unix fathers didn't waste too many error codes, did they? :-) Are there any kernel error messages logged? Ah, i see that msdosfs is complaining (not the fdc(4) driver), so this will even extend the possible range of problems to those where the FAT filesystem structure doesn't match msdosfs' expectations. So it would at least be worth giving mtools a try as well to read that floppy. Failing all this, make sure that you can access the medium at all (my usual test is to run "hd" on it). -- cheers, J"org .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
