Hi all,
Just copied a text file from my Linux to the floppy. After trying
to open the file on my Windows 2000 machine it says that floppy
isn't formatted. Previously, I have copied a couple of files in windows

Format it under Windows, THEN copy a file to it from Linux, then transfer
the disk back to Windows.

the zeroth order approximation to why is that linux can read floppies

How did you mount the floppy (if at all)?
How did you copy the file?
Persoanlly, I usually use MTools for stuff like this:

You didn't say what method you used to copy. I always use
