/dev/fd0h1440:no such device or address after using the flop

[Marduk]

Hey, I've got this problem, when I go to format I get the message /dev/fd0h1440:no such device or address whenever I go to format a floppy, to try and make a presistent home.
I used the floppy cheat at start up "floppyconfig" but then it couldn't find a floppy drive please help!

Perhaps a better second post would have been how you fixed the problem eh?

Oops my bad,
Ok how I fixed the problem well for some reason my stupid XP install seeks the floppy all the time on boot so I totally disabled the floppy from BIOS and therein lied the problem.
But now I've got another problem, whenever I try to retrieve my presistent home from the now enabled floppy which has a previous settings on it, using the "knoppix myconfig=scan" and "knoppix my config=/mnt/auto/floppy" I get some errors saying that it can't find the mount automatically or something of that nature and then retries to no avial. Any ideas?
I did all the steps to get the disk working in linux, I formated it to ext-2 and all that and saved all my settings to it.

thank you for your time.

The cheat codes have changed in recent versions.

Thank you I appreciate the help, I'm a big time noob I didn't know I also had to use the floppy cheat at the same time, now I do thank you!

Hmmm I used that cheat code and it still doesn't find my floppy please help!

[Marduk]

Still not working it still says it can't find the floppy drive even after the "floppyconfig" and "floppyconf" in at boot it always asks to retry and still never finds it! please help! Also whats the limitation of what I can save on my ram drive? can I install programs on there?
