I'm running ubuntu 7.10 and when I click to mount the floppy drive I get the error message "Unable to Mount the Volume." the Details listed are , " Mount: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device." The drive is listed in Device Manager.

I recently reinstalled ubuntu from disk having had extreme difficulty with an install under wubi. I could mount the floppy drive before.

Help fixing the problem will be greatly appreciated.
