To be honest i dont know its mounted correctly, but i used the webmin, to see if it's mounted but it says it is, and also i tried to mount using mount /dev0/ mnt/floppy, it says its already mounted. so i have no clue to what could be the problem.

So when you do "cd /mnt/floppy", what exact error do you get?
