I saw in an earlier part of the thread, you were trying to do things to A: ... A: is a windows device, not a Linux device
Make sure you are trying to do things to /dev/fd0 and not A:
That was in the context of the 'mtools' programs - which do map the devices to dos-like letters but failed in the same way with a problem with the underlying device. But as someone else mentioned, if 2 drives are plugged in, it may be trying the wrong device.
