re: Question about 'Stop Windows from Altering Floppy Disks' Thursday, February 19, 2004 at 7:23 pm Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike (1 messages posted) I have experienced similar problems with disks on an XP Machine. This same machine previausly worked under NT perfectly well. After installing XP I could no longer read floppy disks. More: New floppys are rendered unusable after inserting them in the drive for the first time. I can use them in many other PCs (WIN 98, WIN NT 4.0, etc, at work) until I feed them in this XP machine and it crashes. It's something on the XP, but it depends on the hardware, this does occur only in certain XP PCs.
