I'm having a related problem. I have a computer that multi-boots: WinNT 40 Server,
Win98SE, Win2K Server, Win 2003 Server. I can use a floppy several times when I running
any OS except Win 2003 Server. Once I write to the disk under Win 2003 Server, I
get the error message when I try to read the disk. Same floppy drive, different OS.
Same thing under Win XP.
