Drive A content doesn't change even if i change the floppy! ! !
have an Intel pentium 4 CPU 2 GHz with 512 KB cash memory, 850MV intel motherboars, 512 MB RD-RAM Samsung, Radeon 7500 all in wonder, Sony DVD, ASUS CD-RW and finaly 80 GB westerndigital hard disk drive.
the problem is that when I use windows explorer and open drive A, I see the contents of the floppy which is in the drive. If I change the floppy disk, I can't access the newly inserted disk, because what I see is the content of the old floppy, if I keep refreshing the window, it still show the contents of the old floppy.
This problem happens with all windows; 9x, XP, win 2000 and even windows 2003 server. but doesn't happen with DOS!!
I tried another Floppy disk drive on my machine and tried my Floppy disk drive on another computer and I discovered that the problem is in my PC ! ! !
plsease help me here, I'm stuck, if I want to copy a couple of floppies then I've to restart :(
