    Floppy Drive Privileges Set For Root

    I just installed this floppy drive in my computer and I can view files on floppy disks but I can not add files to a disk, formating will not work.

    All the privileges and ownership are set as root and I can not change them. (But I physically own it)

    Here is what the privileges are set for:
    Attached Images Attached Images
    Xubuntu - 11.10 (64-Bit) | Processor - Intel Core2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz | Motherboard - ASUS P5Q PRO | Graphics Card - GeForce 9800 GTX+ | Hard Drive - Seagate 7200RPM 2TB | RAM - 4 x 2GB OCZ DDR2 PC2-8500 (8GB) //

    Add this line to your /etc/fstab file
    Code:
    /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
    and then reboot and see if that works.

    also check the driver is loaded
    Code:
    lsmod
    and see if floppy is in the list.

    Good Luck
