I have a regular drive it shows up as fd0. Also, has anyone had any problem with mtools segfaulting when trying to create a dos filesystem on a floppy? The first version I had was the version that came with Debian, so I upgraded to the latest version from http://mtools.linux.lu. Has anyone had any luck with this version? Bc I don't want to have to resort to winblows just to create a fat filesystem on a floppy, considering that I should be able to do this using mformat. Thanks in advance. Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sick of Winblows!
