Bug Description

I'm using Ubuntu Breezy Badger Colony 3.

The Disks Manager (System->Administration->Disks) displays Hard Disk Drives and
Floppy Drives. It allows a HDD to be formatted but not a floppy drive. Why is
this? The program that does format floppies, (Applications->System
Tools->Floppy Formatter), is launched from a completely different menu than the
hard disk formatter.

I see two solutions:
1. The floppy formatter is eliminated and its features are consolidated with the
Disks Manager tool.

2. The two tools should be launched from the same menu, floppy disk information
should be removed from the Disks Manager and Floppy Formatter should be renamed
"Floppy Manager".
