How to read a floppy disk created with windows?

[Ashley Benton]

Thank you for your answer, I tried but the terminal answers me : mount:
can't find /dev/fd0/media/floppy in /etc/fstab or //etc/mtab
It is the first time that I am trying to use my floppy drive is there
something that I should have done? Why the terminal can't find it?
Thank you
Meg
