fdformat?



Hello,
I'm trying to excute fdformat. No matter what I enter I get the
following error message:

floppy drive state

floppy: floppy timeout called
ioctl(FDFMTTRK) I/O error

___________ end of error message ____________

the command I entered was:      fdformat /dev/fd0H1440

I should point out that I'm using REDHAT. The system I'm going to is
Debian.
I'm trying to copy some files off of my old system.

TIA.
