<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I'm using Gnome 2 under Mandrake 9.0, and I want to copy lots of floppy disks into my home directory. Using the graphical file manager I put the disk in, clicked on "floppy" on the desktop, clicked on "Home" on the desktop, dragged the icon of the file that I wanted from "Floppy" into "Home". Fine. Popped the disk out, pushed the new disk in, clicked "Refresh" on "Floppy" and got a "Cannot read from disk" alert box. I opened up a terminal, did an "ls" to find the contents of the previous disk. I spent 10 minutes mounting and unmounting "Floppy", gave up, booted into Windows and copied all my disks in no time.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">What was I doing wrong? I just wanted to use Linux to copy floppies. Windows can do it.</FONT>
