Hi all,
When I got my new computer, it did not have a built-in floppy drive so I
bought an external usb model. Obviously floppy disks don't have much of
a future so all I wanted to do was lift any valuable data off them, burn
it to a CD and re-format the disks so that they could be given/thrown
away. However, kfloppy does not recognise the drive so I can't do it
that way. fdisk doesn't see it either. Does anybody know what, if
anything I should do to re-format the disks?
