 JH> I've had a problem pop up recently I can't seem to fix it. OS/2 Warp
 JH> version 3 FP 25 doesn't seem to know when a new diskette has been
 JH> placed in the A: drive. It use to work and I recently noticed that
 JH> OS/2 isn't recognizing the floppy change. Must'a happen after the
 JH> FixPack #25 install becuase I installed the fixpack by diskette.
 JH> For example, if I run a DIR command on diskette #1, OS/2 displays
 JH> fine. I pop in diskette #2 and run a DIR command again, and the same
 JH> directory for diskette #1 is still shown.
 JH> I seem to remember something about the switch command on one of the
 JH> *.ADD drivers in the CONFIG.SYS file.
 JH> Could someone how know of this problem tell me how to correct this
 JH> condition? Could this condition been cause but something in FP25?
 JH> I have a new ZIP drive sitting here that I want to install. I either
 JH> am going to update to fixpack #26 or install Warp v4 -> FP6 over Warp
 JH> v3.
 JH> Thanks,

Hi there John did you remember to Close the window and retry opening it 
ain?
if so does the Drive light come on when the second Diskette is in the Drive?
