Very Strange... Floppy not readable in XP???? 7

[WillShakespeare]

Hi all,

I have a floppy disk in my possession that is readable from our Windows 9x machines... but NOT XP!! I have tried it on 10 different machines (I know I have more important things to do! But when something weird happens I feel the need to get to the bottom of it!).
Anyone know of any problems of this nature? Does anyone fancy doing a test and creating a floppy with Win9x, copying some files and then trying to read it in XP?
I'd like to hear what you know...

Will

On a side note, do you guys ever clean your drives? There are various disk cleaning utilities around, but if a drive is having repeated problems reading multiple disks, try cleaning it before you start throwing away floppies.
Check your local computer store for a floppy drive cleaner kit. MCSE, A+
