Putting Linux Files on a Windows Disk

Q: Putting Linux Files on a Windows Disk

How do I copy files from my Linux machine to a DOS formatted floppy disk so that my Windows machine can read it?

A: Formatting and Mounting Disks for Windows Use

You should format your disk in Windows, then mount it in Linux like this:

Put the floppy in the drive, right-click on the floppy icon, and select Mount Device, or open a terminal and type:

mount /mnt/floppy

To copy files, right-click on the floppy icon and select Copy, or use the command:

cp [filename] /mnt/floppy

To unmount the floppy so you can eject it, right-click on the floppy icon and select Eject Device, or open a terminal and type:

	  umount /mnt/floppy
