re: Question about 'Stop Windows from Altering Floppy Disks' Friday, January 21, 2005 at 8:06 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by FrustratedMonkey (1 messages posted) I thought I was going mad - until I found this forum... I checked the cable and sure enough - it was loose... this fixed the problem of the disk still appearing to be accesible even though it is not in the drive... of course I ran a virus check and a spyware check before I found this place!!! - 2 minutes work becomes an hours chore!!
