Very Computer

When reporting an error, include the exact error message.
Also, include the command you used to attempt to mount the drive.
(If I could read minds, I'd be a much better poker player).

However, it sounds like you don't have IDE-FLOPPY support compiled into
your kernel.

Try the following

$ kmesg | less

Shortly after booting the computer.  Look for where Linux "talks" about
your hard disks.  If the LS-120 is being recognized as a CD-ROM, then
the problem is almost certainly that you don't have IDE-FLOPPY support
compiled into your kernel.

Try looking at permissions and look at what filesystem type the ls-120 is
expected to have. I have the following lines (in addition to many others) in my
/etc/fstab file.

/dev/hdc           /mnt/lin120        ext2         user,rw         0 0
/dev/hdc           /mnt/win120        vfat         user,rw         0 0

The only one you need to be concerned with is the second line unless you plan on
reformatting the ls-120 disk to a linux filesystem.

I've got 2 lines and 2 mount points because it was easier than working out how
to get the auto filesystem identification (usually just put 'auto' in the third
column) to work properly and support long filenames instead of the DOS 8.3

now I just type 'mount /mnt/win120' and it works.
