Re: help usb floppy

[Mette Sorensen <blonde_mette yahoo com>]

Hi Tyler

Sorry I clicked on send by accident so this is the
second part of my email

WHEN ENTER: mount -t vfat/dev/sda1/mnt/floppy
           it doesn't come up with an error
WHEN ENTER: df
it prints
filesystem ........use ...mounted on
/dev/hda3          26%    /
/dev/hda2          14%    /boot
none                0%     /dev/shm

WHEN ENTER: dmesg
    after partition check it writes
    floppy0: no floppy controllers found
    ide-floppy driver 0.97
    later it writes

    usb.c uhci.c ...

WHEN ENTERS: /sbin/fdisk -1/dev/sda
writes
/sbin/fdisk: invalid option --1

usage: fdisk[-b SSZ] [u] Disk
       fdisk -l [-b SSZ] [-u] disk
       fdisk -s PARTITION
       fdisk -v
here Disk is something like /dev/hdb or /dev/sda
and partition is something like /dev/sda

Thanks again for you help 

Mette
