For the problem mounting I would try some other troubleshooting to see if you can read the device. For instance (assuming you have the hard drive space) you might try the following line: dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/tmp/floppy The command doesn't require you to mount the drive and should work if the drive is functioning. But if this just started and the memory thing just started I would have to think you have a bios configuration problem. Often times it will work fine if you choose to have the bios reset to factory defaults. Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net ------------------ Your fly might be open (but don't check it just now).
