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.
