Is this a hardware problem? I get the same thing with all disks I have tried.
I'm guessing it's an MS-DOS type floppy, being mounted with "mount -t >msdos".
You might try the mtools, which parse the filesystem a little
differently, but it's unlikely to matter when the very first block is failing.
Sorry, mine was a poorly asked question.
I never mount DOS floppies on my system, I use mtools as you suggest.
I am getting these same type messages using both mtools or even trying to access the floppy with dd
I think I will try a different floppy drive when I have a chance to bring the system down for a few minutes.
Thanks for your time.
