   It is a standard garden variety 2HD floppy disk formatted on a Windows   
   98 machine. BeOS seems to think that it can't understand the disk or   
   wants to format it. I take the same disk and put it back in the win 98   
   machine and it reads it just find. Thinking this was something related   
   to the actual floppy disk, I formatted another (full format not a quick   
   format) and got the same results on the BeOS notebook (BeOS 4.5).
