The floppy was formatted with floppy formatter and kfloppy with an ext2 file system and checked for bad sectors - none. I can open the disk with Konqueror and the floppy icon on desktop. When I try to copy any files this is the message I get : "could not make folder /mnt/floppy/2.4.22-10mdk" If I navigate to /mnt/floppy and look at the properties the permissions tab has the three boxes "owner, Group, Others" greyed out. On the advanced button it shows permissions for all groups to show entries, write entries and enter with x'es in the boxes. The disk is a 144Hd Floppy and I am trying to copy about 700KB, so plenty of room on the floppy.
