Problem with 3/12" floppy drive: it reads the first disk
after I started Windows XP, but when I insert another
disk, still the files of the first disk remain listed in
WinExplorer. I can write onto the floppy disk, and the
newly written files appear in the list. I can also copy
the "phantom" files wherever, but when trying to open
them there's only bullshit (of course).
Briefly, I can't work with any other floppy disk after I
had one in.
I checked the hardware, connecting another floppy drive
to the same port: same problem.
I even reinstalled Windows - no cure.
Thanx for any halpful e-mail.

The floppy drive is not reread when you insert a new disc.
Try pressing the F5 (Refresh) key after a new disc is put
in.
