floppy drive not workng

[czar nikoli]

i had to reset my bios. now i need to use the win98 bootdisk but i can''t get my floppy drive to work. i've installed the kfloppy program and of course wine. the floppy window shows everything is installed for kfloppy to work, then when i try to format i get an error mess. The program /sbin/mkdosfs terminated with an error.
I need help in using my floppy drive, any ideas Thank you

Re: floppy drive not workng

Sometimes it helps if you mount the drive:

sudo mount -o rw -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy

or

sudo mount -o rw -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy

Here the error (from dmesg) was:

dmesg

floppy0: probe failed...
end_request: I/O error, dev fd0, sector 0
