HELP!!!

How do I get Vector Linux to recognize my USB floppy disk drive?

Sorry if quoting myself seems somewhat egotistical, but I get the impression that this post was in danger of being forgotten.

[hata_ph]

show us the output of lspci, lsusb and lsmod
what file manager you using?
what version of VL you are using?

[Locator]

The output for those commands is ;

I am using the default file manager, and my operating system is Vector Linux 7.0, and no, my USB floppy drive doesn't show up when I plug it in.

[hata_ph]

It seem there is a bug in the udisk rules...follow the instruction as below links and it should automount your usb floppy drive
