I had this problem frequently in the past
it happened again
but with a vengance
I inserted a floppy and read it from the OS.
I accessed it various ways
and used xtree as well/
all floppies had the same directory.I formatted one, it read properly
but still every floppy read the same.
I powered down, same thing
I shut down, went to bed, next day same thing.
every floppy had that directory
( from the previous day)

it finally went away
2 hard drives different OS

i had that problem, found a small cut on the instalation of the fd cable cause it rubbed the chassis. try a different drive/cable next time it happens.

I seem to remember a simple reason why this happened, it always happened to me, now I can't remember the simple way around it.

I do know smrtdrv does that on occasion also.
