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

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.
