Here's the thing
My Fiance can access her resume on a Windows 98 Machine at here workplace, but I can't mount the same floppy disk properly here.
It says it's mounted, but, dmesg|tail gives me this
| Code: | # dmesg|tail
FAT: Directory bread(block 29) failed
attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, want=31, limit=8
FAT: Directory bread(block 30) failed
attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, want=32, limit=8
FAT: Directory bread(block 31) failed
attempt to access beyond end of device
fd0: rw=0, want=33, limit=8
FAT: Directory bread(block 32) failed
|
I can't do fdisk /dev/fd0, and dosfsck fails with
| Code: | # dosfsck /dev/fd0
dosfsck 2.10, 22 Sep 2003, FAT32, LFN
Seek to 1474048:Invalid argument |

The filesystem on the disk is corrupted. Reformat it.

Thing is, I put the disk in a Windows Machine, it works with no problems.

This is because Windows ignores some filesystem errors. Linux doesn't.
