Unable to mount floppy in 9.10 AMD system

Asked by Rodney

I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 on an AMD machine. I can not mount the floppy nor read anything on the floppy. Here is a copy of the fstab and the results of the command “sudo nano modules”.
When I try to mount the floppy by going to Places>Computer>Floppy and click on mount I get the message Unable to mount location, no media in drive.
If I put a floppy with data on it in the drive, I get the same message. Can anyone point me in the proper direction to solve this problem please?
