Floppy Error-Input/Output Error-Fedora2

[Mark Sargent]

Hi All,

when doing cp filepath filepath I get the following errors,

1stly, I get,

cp writing 'mnt/floppy/' Input/output error

2ndly, I get,

the files showing up on the floppy(as if the copy was successful), but,
when removing it, and either inserting it into the same PCs floppy or
another, the files don't show, although, when re-copying(from the
original machine/the original file), I get asked to allow an overwrite. 

3rdly, If I try a cp /mnt/floppy/'filename' 'directorypath' I get,

cp: cannot stat `/mnt/floppy/SMBMountError041203': No such file or
directory

What gives with this..? Cheers.
