HI Jayel; /dev/mcd /cdrom iso9660 ro,noauto,user 0 0 /dev/fd0 /adisk msdos rw,noauto,user 0 0 Look in your fstab file, it's in /etc. Your floppy and cdrom should look about like this. Make sure that it has "user" in it. This will allow you to mount it. Then as a "user" you can say for example "mount /fd0" to mount your floppy. If this does not work send me a copy of your fstab file and we'll work on it. Hope this helps!
