Not at all, that's really strange, I have no idea how it could happen! I
don't know what we can do about it really, must be something to do with
either the ST or PC caching something it shouldn't. Does it make any
difference if you insert the disk while on the ST desktop, open a window to
view the contents and then read a new file?
