I can not get the floppy drive to mount. Each time I try after boot up I get a message to say "Can not mount loction, can not mount file." When I click on the Floppy Icon under Computer. The floppy will drives starts to make noises but then nothing.
I get the same response on two machines. I have tried new floppy drives. I can not mount the drive if I use the icon under place/remiovable Media/floppy or the file browser under System tools.
There is no folder for the floppy generated in the Media or MNT folders.
I seem to be able to mount the floppy when I use Fstab but I would like to get the automatice system working. Sometimes I get the the CD and or memoy stick not mounting with a message the saem as for the floppy "unable to mount location".
I ahev also had a message re HAL come up when trying to mount.
Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it. I do not know anthing about who the automatic mount system works , what files it uses and what configuration files it uses, or for that matter where HAL fits in.
