Thanks, everyone for responding. I resolved the problem, by removing the floppy from the drive.... It would be a nice question on an sysadmin exame ;)
Gives one a somewhat sheepish feeling <grin>, which I am sure nearly everyone has experienced at one time or another. At least those who utilized a computer before they stopped installing floppy drives. You could have a similar experience back before hard drives from the opposite condition, a missing floppy. I remember my wife's friend asking me to find a windoz 3 icon she had lost, was *behind* another icon. And the user who's monitor failed, had not turned it on (didn't usually turn it off). gud day, -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/photos
