I know there is something on it cause i carry it across room to desktop computer and it shows there is files on it! I have knoppix installed on my desktop and have no trouble mounting floppy drive. is there a way to trouble shoot this?
If this is through the icon on the desktop the delete it and right click on the desktop and create a new one. If that does not work then look at the /etc/fstab and see what the line you are using for the floppy has in it here is what I use it works fine.

Code:
/dev/fd0        /floppy         auto    user,noauto,rw             0       0
