HELP! "/dev/fd0 not a valid block device"

[peeps_59]

What have I done? I am in desperate need to write a file to a floppy, and the computer tells me that /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device. How do I fix this?

Thanks

Are those the only errors you're getting?? Maybe you didn't mount the device correctly. There might be some mistake in your fstab, if you don't know what it's supposed to look like, it should look something like this: /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat sync,nosuid,noauto,user,nodev,unhide 0 0 . Any more problems, just post them here.

Be sure to have a floppy disk in the drive before typing the mount command.

Can you mount it as root user?
