Verify the floppy cable coming from the motherboard is connected to the back of the floppy drive.If it is connected, disconnect and reconnect the cable to verify the cable is seated properly. Verify the floppy connection is connected to the motherboard FDD (floppy disk drive) connector.Power down, unplug, and open the computer, being aware of ESD (electrostatic discharge) and its potential dangers.If you have recently installed any new hardware, disconnect it temporarily to ensure that it's not causing the floppy drive not to work.
If you do not have a tab, place tape over this hole.īecause of the technology of floppy diskette drives, the floppy diskettes ist most likely bad. Verify the diskette is not write protected by sliding the tab into the opposite position, preventing light from shining through it. Verify the floppy diskette you are attempting to read from is not write protected or bad. For floppy read errors see: Why can't my computer read a floppy diskette? Bad floppy diskette $ udisksctl mount -b /dev/sdc -t vfatĮrror mounting /dev/sdc: GDBus.Error.The troubleshooting options and details below are for floppy disk drive issues and not for issues about being unable to read one or two floppy disks.
As it is recognized by all OSes with no problem but just do not want to read floppies.Īlso udisks generates same error. I’m starting to feel that it’s the actual drive problem. It will not fulfill my project (as I need a modern PC) but at last I will test if this drive works.ĮDIT: Knoppix 8.2 w/ 4.16.5 kernel gives me exact same errors. What if I test some very old Knoppix? Those days floppies were still around. And I need USB as non of my computers (even servers) do not have floppy connection (it wasn’t ATA as I recall but still I only have SATA and SAS connectors). I read a lot here and there and most Linux programs do not support USB drives.
