Floppy question

[Tom Achtenberg]

While on the topic of mounting floppies, I can not get mine to mount at all
on my RH 7.2 system.  I get an error that says "/dev/fd0 input/output error
mount: I could not determine the file system type and none was specified"

on the properties screen device tab it says "auto" for file system type.  If
I change it to fat I get the same error.

This has been happening with two different drives and cables

Did you umount the old floppy before you removed it?
