Strange but it seems to affect a lot of XP users. A friend of mine just came up with the same problem. The content of the second floppy wouldn't display, no matter how many times he hit F5. It would appear that there is a problem in XP with some type of floppy drives. Where do you enable the option to auto detect removable devices?
