This problem has plagued me for over 2 months and I'm at my wits end. I've been in the process of moving for the past 3-4 months so haven't been able to do anything about it. The problem , in a nutshell, is that I can not write to my floppy or CD-R drives, even as root. The message is that 'access is denied, could not write to /mnt/floppy/foo.bar.
If I use Supermount to mount the floppy and look at the permissions under properties the option selected is 'Owner can view content'. If I try to select 'Owner can view and modify content' there is an error message that "changing the attributes of files is not supported with protocol devices".
If I try to mount a drive manually the error message is that there are too many file systems, bad superblock, etc. If I try to unmount the drive the message is that there is no drive mounted.
This problem started with MDK 10.0 as downloaded. Thinking that this was the problem, I bought the pak from Mandrake but the problem is still there.
The computer is a Sony Viao laptop but I was having the same problem on my desktop machine.
There are a lot of important files that desperately need backing up, someone please help!

Please post your /etc/fstab

fs=ext2:vfat didn't help either.
This is looking more and more like a permissions problem. The same problem exists with the CD and I've discovered that I can't copy the files to any of my Windows folders either.
I'm living in at an interim address until the Fall and my 9.2 CDs are in storage 1200 miles away. If I can't solve this problem this week I'm going to have to abandon Mandrake.
