the mount tool only recognises hda2, not my cdrom or floppy and this is bothersome as I need some text files transferred to floppy
any ideas ??

"did u try

and
Code Sample
mount /dev/cdrom"

those only work if cdrom is in fstab-file (I know it should be, but...)

You can mount them manually from terminal by:
first give yourself root rights:

sudo su

then make the directories, where you want to mount them:

mkdir /mnt/cd
mkdir /mnt/disk

then you can use the "full" mount command:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cd
mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/disk

That was for ide CD-drive and normal floppy drive for USB or sata drives the locations in /dev/xxx are different

hope this helped.

PS. if I have problems figuring where something is in /dev... I boot my machine with KNOPPIX cd and just look where KNOPPIX mounted it....
