Ubuntu Hardy beta 6 updated to 3/18/08, is unable to use a floppy drive at all.

When I try to use the floppy drive from the "Places" menu I receive this error.

Unable to scan drive for media changes

Cannot invoke CheckForMedia on HAL: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "CheckForMedia" with signature "" on interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage.Removable" doesn't exist

If I try and use the floppy drive from "Computer" I receive this error.

Unable To Mount Location

No media in the drive

The floppy drive and the disk I am testing with are in perfect working order. Something else I have noticed is that the icon for the floppy drive is larger than it should be in the file browser.

I reported this bug once before and it had been moved around. The bug is still present and this drive has worked fine in previous versions of Ubuntu. I have resubmitted this bug because I felt that the problem needs looked at and fixed before the final release of Hardy. Previously my bug report was associated with a CD-ROM issue and seems to have been forgotten.
