Under LInux, I saved the data into diskette but the diskette data CANNOT be read by WIN O.S. May I know any particular method which I can save the data into diskette by DOS file system instead of LINUX. Just like to ease of the data access between WIN & Linux since I always switch between them.
Thank You & Best regards,
elkok

SolutionAnother way is to format with DOS alike file system directly under LINUX. The command for this is the following:
mkfs -t vfat /dev/fd0
be sure that the diskette is NOT mounted , otherwise you'll get errors while executing this command

Re: How do I save data into diskette under Linux which can also be read by Win O.S
Format a diskette on a windows machine (but there are tools to do the same on linux, like kfloppy) and mount it on the linux machine using:
$ mount /mnt/floppy
or, if the diskette format type isn't automatically recognized:
$ mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
there are other commands like mdir, mcopy, mdel that they can read/write a floppy without mounting it. man pages, as always, help.

Re: How do I save data into diskette under Linux which can also be read by Win O.S
Format as Alexander suggested under win or linux, and you'll be able to exchange datas with your win box.
Look at a man mkfs, you'll see that you can also format for MAC format, among many others, which is quite convenient...

[p.fessel@wotan .ask]$ rpm -qi mtools
Name : mtools Relocations: (not relocateable)
Version : 3.9.8 Vendor: MandrakeSoft
Release : 3mdk Build Date: Fri 22 Nov 2002 03:01:02 PM BRST
Install date: Fri 11 Apr 2003 04:52:17 PM BRT Build Host: bi.mandrakesoft.com

Summary : Programs for accessing MS-DOS disks without mounting the disks
Description :
Mtools is a collection of utilities for accessing MS-DOS files.
Mtools allow you to read, write and move around MS-DOS filesystem
files (normally on MS-DOS floppy disks). Mtools supports Windows95
style long file names, OS/2 Xdf disks, and 2m disks.
Mtools should be installed if you need to use MS-DOS disks.
So you can use all DOS commands prepended with a "m". So you can do "mformat a:", "mcopy file.txt a:", "mcd a:/director.y", etc.
