All,
I am having problems with my floppy disk and was wondering whether anyone
had encountered this previously or whether anyone knew of a fix for it.
WHen I try to access my floppy under a console window using a cd command I
get the following error:
[root@F11-pc-3B022-1 /mnt]# cd floppy
bash: cd: floppy: Input/output error
[root@F11-pc-3B022-1 /mnt]#
Then, if I try to format the FD I get the following:
[root@F11-pc-3B022-1 /mnt]# fdformat /dev/fd0H1440
Double-sided, 80 tracks, 18 sec/track. Total capacity 1440 kB.
Formatting ...
ioctl(FDFMTBEG): No such device
[root@F11-pc-3B022-1 /mnt]#
I have used the drive about one hour ago and it worked fine. WHy now do I
have these problems and what does it mean?
