I am using Ubuntu 9.10 and when I put in the sudo fdisk -l command in the terminal it reads my hard drive, floppy drive, but not my floppy drive.
I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10, and it's not recognizing my floppy drive (3.5" 1.44), although my computer's BIOS recognizes, and will attempt to boot from it if a floppy disk is in when booting. Is there a way to get Ubuntu to access the floppy drive?
Gnome desktop.
64 Bit
AMD processor
Fedora 12.
Today 3/12 I updated my Fedora 12 instalation. There was 68 updates including kernal 2/6.31.6-145....
After the update ALL references to the floppy drive have gone!!
There is no icon in "computer"
There is no floppy in the File browser
There is no floppy in theDisk Utility
I'm new to these forums, as well as Linux, but hopefully you guys can help me. I've been considering erasing Windows off my hard disk to gain some space, but until then, I want to know that I can do everything I'll want to do.
I've followed many tutorials and threads on the internet, but they never work for me.
My PC has a 3.5" floppy drive and yes, I do use it. (Retrocomputing hobby.) I use Ubuntu 12.10 with MATE.
Same computer, under Ubuntu 8.04 no problem at all.
Under 12.04, floppy drive is non existent for Ubuntu.
Drive and floppy disquette works well on DOS.
Computer boots from the floppy W98se, no problem at all.
How I can use floppys under Ubuntu 12.04 ?.
My computer's floppy drive works with other distros but not Ubuntu 12.04.
I put in the floppy and detect it; but it will not mount. Can anyone help me with this please?
I cannot get 9.10 to access my floppy. I believe 9.04 accessed O.K., but not sure. I have tried a lot of the suggestions, may have even mucked things up a bit.
First, Places sees the floppy. If I click on it, I get a lite, but nothing happens. I assume this is a good sign?
Second, i tried a number of the suggestion such as,
sudo mkdir /floppy
Hi,
How would I automount the floppy disk drive upon inserting a floppy diskette in fedora 11?
Thanks.
