help please.

the A: drive (3.5") will not refresh itself after the
first floppy is accessed.

after the initial startup, the drive will read the first
disk fine. if you try to read a second disk, the drive
attempts to read info off the first disk, then gives a
file path error message.

you have to shut down the machine and reboot it to get
the drive to refresh in order to read another floppy.

any ideas?

Try replacing the floppy drive. I've seen this a number
of times before--I think it's called the "change line"
signal. One of the failures I've seen is where the floppy
drive itself does not realize the disk has been changed.
A side effect of this is that it can write root directory
information from one disk onto another, thus corrupting
the second disk.
