Re: [LINUX_Newbies] usb floppy

Typically Linux only mounts a drive when there is something in it. Try
inserting a blank disk or a disk with data on it. It should auto mount and
show in the drop down from the usb icon in the notification area in the top
right or in the side panel in Nautilus (file manager).
