the floppy drive on my 5 moth old computer is acting wierd.I've only used it a couple of times and it seemed if it worked O.K.. Now when I put a floppy in it reads it as empty(blank), if I put somthing on the floppy it reads what I pit on it, but if I insert a new empty floppy it still reads what I put on the last floppy over and over. I tried to refresh it still reads whatever info I put on the first floppy.If i reboot it reads all floppys as empty(blank),even the one I just put info on.I am going to make a hard ware change and need the floppy for my promise controller drivers(Ihave a raid array) just in case I need to reformat. this seems like a windows problem but do I need a new floppy? heres the specs:
athlon xp 1900
asus a7v333 raid
2 maxtor 60 gigs in raid 0
windows xp w/service pack
geforce 3
soundblaster audigy
generic floppy
1 gig ddr2700 corsair
