Well, I decided to reinstall, as I could not figure out what the problem is, but even after a fresh install, my floppy drive does not work :-/ Hasn't anyone has this problem yet?
Whan I try mound the floppy, it just tells me it was unable to mount the floppy drive, and when I click details, : mount: /dev/fd0: unknown device. Trying it in the shell does not work either: mount /mnt/floppy/ mount: /dev/fd0: unknown device I try the other floppy devices, but this has to be the one I need, as it's just a standard 1044 floppy drive. I have for the sake of it re-reformatted my harddrive, this time without connecting my new Logitech USB mouse, leaving my computer the way it has always been, and still it didn't work :-( Maybe someone knows, or can explain just how this new system works with 8.1? Not that this is urgent today, but will be in the near future for me, so again, any info would be appreciated. Can the rest of you using mandrake 8.1 connect to your floppies?
