Hi! Well I seem to have a problem. If I try just mformat everything is ok. If I use fdformat first the floppy is unreadable on win machine. The exact error from a DOS prompt is: General failiure reading drive a Abort, Retry, Fail? If i type R I get the same error. The only way to see anything on that floppy in win again is to reformat it via win/DOS's format :( What could be the problem in my case is it possible that the fdformat has some problems on my machine, that I cannot see? How can I determine if this is fdformat's problem. I am running eval verison of SuSE 6.2 is this a poblem with the distros rpm maybe - should I use the one from SuSE's ftp site? THX in advance!
