Solve : floppy refresh in virtual Windows 95??

Answer» <html><body><p>In my Windows 2000 computer, I am running VMWare. Inside of VMWare, I am running a virtual Windows 95.<br/><br/>Recently, the floppy drive in W95 has been acting strangely. Here is the sequence:<br/><br/>1. I insert a new floppy disk, then click on the A: drive in file <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/manager-239636" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MANAGER">MANAGER</a>. It <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/shows-1206590" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about SHOWS">SHOWS</a> the files on the floppy, and all is well.<br/><br/>2. Then I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/remove-1184766" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about REMOVE">REMOVE</a> the floppy disk and insert a new floppy disk. Now, when I click on the A: drive in file manager, it does not show the files on the new disk. Instead, it shows the old files from the old disk. If I refresh the drive, it still shows the old files. The same if I remove and reinsert the disk.<br/><br/>3. If the <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/first-461760" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FIRST">FIRST</a> disk was full, and the second disk is empty, it will not let me add new files to the second disk. If I delete the false files on the second disk --- that is, if I delete the filenames that are actually from the first disk while looking at this false readout of the second disk, then at least I can add new files to this second disk. And then these files will display when I refresh the A: drive.<br/><br/>4. The same thing happens if I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/access-846773" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ACCESS">ACCESS</a> the floppy drive from a dos box inside of W95.<br/><br/>5. Alternatively, I can reboot W95, and then the first floppy disk that I insert will behave in a normal manner. But it still hangs with a second disk.<br/><br/>I do not know if this is a W95 problem or a floppy driver problem or a VMWare problem, so I am starting out here on this forum, wondering if anyone has any ideas about this.<br/><br/>Thank you.</p></body></html>
