Hi Kirk Thank you for your reply really appreciated. When I put the floppy disk in - nothing happens, no LED light - no turning sound. I've read in the Help 'To Mount Media' and as I read it should detect it automatically but it doesn't. So it says I must mount it manually by double clicking the Computer icon on the desktop - I do not have a computer icon on the desktop, or at least I don't seem to be able to see it! Whats it look like? Regards Dave

I think when you put a floppy in, its directories should show up in /media/floppy.
