Have to ask, Is this a XP machine having problems with the floppy? Think it may be a bug in XP. Have 3 machines here that ever since switching to XP the floppy is hit and miss. Doesn't matter what I try floppies are very dangerouse to use. Try booting with a DOS disk, switch floppies and see if data is on the disk. I can use mine in DOS, or any other OS that is on machine, just not in XP. Know of others that have the same problem. Worth a check to see.
Oh yeah, as long as I use formatted disks usually work alright (not all the time), but when I do have to forrmat it will definately be screwed up.
