Floppy drive is lost

[Rastar]

Has anyone ever witnessed what I have been going through. I dump data onto a floppy in windows then drop the disk into my linux floppy (RH7.0) and click on the old floppy disk icon or even cd /mnt/floppy and the data is not accessible from linux. Yes it is there because back on the windows machine it shows up.

What silly little tweak do I need now?

You probably have to mount the floppy drive first. Or, you may have to unmount it (if Linux thinks there's a disk there already) and then remount the floppy.

From the command line, try:
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy and then cd /mnt/floppy.

Thanks will give it a try.
