Is the option to auto detect removeable devices enabled. what is happening is the
contents of the disk or cd are being held in memory - and ussually f5 will clear
it and in some case it doesn't try disabling the autoinsert noficiation and see for
the flopply -
also I would suggest doing a hard ware testing on the floppy. not sure what benchmark
programs allow testinf of the floppy .
