- Hi.
- I have some problems with floppy-disk handling on Linux.
- If I type:
-
- >fdformat /dev/fd0
-
- on a DD disk ... it works correctly (880k formattated)
- but with an HD disk ... it formats again 880k !!!
- I looked for anyother devices but I found only a fd0h1440 : since I used it, every
- disk is formattated at 440k !!! ????
- I can't change the format anymore ... as it was locked !
- How does the fd device work ?
- How can I say to the system that the disk is changed ?
- MANY thanks in advance.
