asked on 

files on blank floppy showing

Ok,I have a user that has a floppy problem

He'll take floppy 1, put it in his drive and copy a file over (say the file is named dog.txt)

Then then removes the floppy, places a brand new floppy in and browses the contents. and dog.txt is there. It's like the computer is holding the file in RAM or something?

Any ideas?
I verified the blank disc was indeed blank.  I took it up to my office and tested it

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
