This article was previously published under Q96756 SYMPTOMS
MS-DOS does not recognize when a floppy disk has been changed in your
floppy disk drive.
CAUSE
This problem occurs when the disk does not have a volume
identification (ID). The following disks may have this problem:
- Disks formatted with MS-DOS version 3.x
- Disks formatted with Symantec Norton Safe Format (SF)
- Pre-formatted disks
If the disk does not have a volume ID, the MS-DOS media-change logic
cannot detect the disk change.
