What commands are you using? Just mount it as fat or vfat.Quote:> when I insert the floppy and access it reports : input/out put error.

The problem with the world is stupidity. Not saying there should be a
capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the
safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?
1. can't format a dos-formatted floppy disk
: Does anybody know ,how to format a DOS-formatted 3.5 inches 1.44M floppy
: diskette
: I have runned such command(as root) in REDHAT 6.0:
: # fdformat /dev/fd0H1440
: But got "CRC error ........" ,why ?
Here's a shellscript I wrote (it's an ugly hack, but it does the job)
a few years ago to to both a Low-Level format and then to put a DOS
filesystem on a diskette. If you save the script as "dosformat" you
would then invoke it as:
dosformat /dev/fd0H1440
or whatever the device is you're formatting. it assumes you've got
mkdosfs on your system (it came with mine).
