If the floppy were not mounted, would the light go on when I attempt to
access it?

It doesn't matter what file system is in the flopyy, I get the same
result. I have tried accessing the boot disk made during install of

Is there a way to mount it so one can access it no matter the file system
or do you need to mount additional devices?
