Sorry about the off-topic question, but my wife will be grateful for possible help. My wife has a conventional 3 1/2" floppy that she formatted eons ago on an old Compaq computer. She says a) the old Compaq would read floppies formatted on an IBM PC. b) floppies formatted on her Compaq could not be read on other PCs.
Sounds to me like a poorly-aligned floppy drive but maybe it's something more subtle. My box says it can't recognize the file system on the floppy (when using the 'auto' option in the mount command). Is there any possibility that the old Compaq had some wierd file system for floppies (obviously a question for the old farts among the list ;-) ). Thanks very much! -- Tony Alfrey [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I'd Rather Be Sailing" _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
