Windows Forum / Windows 98 / Disks / File System / August 2003A drive contents not refreshing.
When I view the contents of a floppy in the A:\ drive and then try to view another floppy's contents, I only see the contents of the very first disk. It only shows the contents of the very first floppy no matter how many floppies I stick in the drive. This happens both in My Computer and in Windows Explorer. Viewing the contents on the CDR or HDDs are fine. I've swapped A: drives and cables with new ones and still the same problem. Has anyone seen this? Thanks! Click on C: drive and then back on A: drive -- Regards Ron Badour, MS MVP W98 System Tips: http://home.satx.rr.com/badour Knowledge Base Info: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?pr=kbinfo > When I view the contents of a floppy in the A:\ drive and > then try to view another floppy's contents, I only see the [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > cables with new ones and still the same problem.

When you double click on A: Drive, and bring up the contents page.....put in a new disk and press F5....(the F5 Key at the top of the Keyboard)....its will refresh the contents of the current screen... >-----Original Message----- >Click on C: drive and then back on A: drive [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > >. You probably don't care why this is happening, but I'll tell you anyway. Removable media like CD that are removed then inserted are polled by windows explorer at their root directory/TOC contents due to autoinsert notification. Whereas, a floppy diskette in the same scenario this does not happen unless it has its autoinsert notification checked. You can press "F5" at the keyboard when you have the floppy diskette selected. This has the same effect as view/refresh in windows explorer. This is same except its not attempting to locate the autorun.inf file.
