Floppy Troubles - Lucid 10.04

The man terminal command is your friend to exit from man press the q keyboard key, so from a terminal type:

man mount
man umount
man gksudo
man gedit
man sudo

Additionally, if you are new to Ubuntu, i recommend reading through the Ubuntu Manual, it's very informative:

Yeh! Right 1 mate ....this is getting me no where in a hurry! My sudo does not register that I have a floppy drive...much less that there are 2 floppy0 files on my computer now (from previous other advices)!! that are not mountable because of /dev/fd0 is missing !! + not removable as per below.

I would not have posted question if I had ´not done reading´ (still am) and tried multiple other means of fixing the issue.

Please read my most recent attempt ...part of which I did try before I recall....I really need some straight forward advices or answers to this issue.

If anybody can assist or give suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Back to more searching & reading :(

Anyway, what about GUI?
system administration -> disk utility

Is the floppy listed there and can be mounted?

Maybe this helps.
