I think its Have you try to format floppy to not standard capacity, for example more than 1.44MB? ./fdformat /dev/fd0u1722 Virtually all 1.44 drives support 1.722 just fine, but it is possible for an extended format to break a floppy drive, use it at YOUR OWN RISK! Use /dev/fd0u1722 to mount it, /dev/fd0 or /dev/fd0H1440 probably will not work. I have no idea if it will work - if you can boot with it... but it's the only thing I can think of now :^). good luck - rosa - -- PuTTY - the best ever known client of everything HP OmniBook 5700 CTX: www.hpob5700ctx.republika.pl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
