This may helps, but you have to make some changes..

sudo echo "/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

sudo modprobe floppy

sudo mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0
Unfortunately no :( Icon appears and disappears...

I'm sorry to say, the problem still persists... Does anyone knows the reasons? Maybe some components of OS are corrupted?
I'm in despair...

If a floppy-drive works about using via live-CD , so updates makes the problem.
