I have the same problem and thought that my disks were bad, it has now happened on
several XP machines, I have even replaced my floppy drive twice thinking it was a
hardware issue. My instance seems more like a compatibility issue with XP and there
seem to be a lot of users in the same boat...hmmm is that a bug I smell!

My problem seems to be similar, but has caused some file corruption on a floppy.
I've had 2 different problems.
If I open a file (or just the directory) on floppy #1, then take that floppy out
and insert a second floppy #2 (and again, either open a file, or just look at the
directory), then reinsert floppy #1, it tells me that floppy 1 is not formatted.
(I can open the floppy on a different computer, so it is formatted).
2nd problem: I did the same thing (opened a file on floppy #1, then opened a file
on floppy 2, reinserted floppy #1 and tried to save a document I had changed). Instead
of saving the document, it rewrote the directory of floppy #1 with the directory
of floppy #2 and I lost some of the original files on floppy #1.
Has anyone had a similar experience? Know any way to stop this? It has only occurred
since I started using Windows XP.
