can't mount ext2fs

[S. Lawton]

I tried formatting disks with both Kfloppy and Gnome Floppy as 
ext2fs, but then when I try to mount, the error message says wrong 
fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/fd0, or too many 
mountedfile systems. 
If I take that disk to Windows and run analyze disk from the 
Maxidisk program, it recognizes it as a non-DOS disk and reports 
no directories, no files [as opposed to DOS disk, MAC disk or 
unformatted disk]. 
If I reformat to DOS, they mount fine. Why ??
