HI, This is the way I have done this in the past. mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt what this does is temporarily mounts the floppy drive to the /mnt directory. then just cd into the directory /mnt and copy any of the files you want or need to the hard drive. If the disk is formatted for other ops such as unix check the man pages for mount for other options. The /mnt directory can be replaced with any directory that you may set up for mounting. I use /mnt because I tend to mount other hard drives on a regular basis. I hope this helps, Phil Standard Disclaimer.....
