I've had this experience too.  What seemed to fix it in my case was to
detach then re-attach the floppy ribbon lead, at the floppy as well as at
the mobo end. Last time the thing balked on me, I threw in a new floppy.

floppies.

everything goes fine.  However, when I insert a new floppy and try to read
it, it gives me the data from my old one.  F5 doesn't work either.  Only
rebooting helps.  How can I solve the problem?
