Anyone know of a diagnostic tool I can use to check my floppy disk drive? It's knackered in linux and windows, but is listed in the bios. When trying to access a floppy, the light comes on for a few seconds and then an error msg appears.

I'm running a dual-boot knoppix 3.8 and win98 system.

Error msgs in Linux are:

mount: /dev/fd0: can't read superblock

Error msgs in win98 are:

a:\ is not accessible. The device is not ready.

Looking at /dev/fstab gives me this:

/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat defaults,user,noauto,showexec,umask=022 0 0

Any ideas on how to resolve this are welcome (except the one with the badger, it died and smells bad).
