The 1.44Meg floppy won't mount in my Nautilus file browser. When I try to mount it, it says there is no media in the drive. Yet, I can write to the floppy through the terminal using the 'cp' command. I can enter the command: mount -t ext2 /floppy
and it mounts. I have also run a check and the disk itself is 100% clean.
So, why can't I get the nautilus browser to open up the floppy? Is there a way to see the actual floppy from the terminal?
