I had an argument with my supplier over this. I insisted
that their drive is faulty and I want a replacement. To my
dismay, the "faulty" drive worked on their Win98 machine.
Something is wrong with XP.

Any info would be much appreciated. Checked the KB for
that "Media Descriptor" missing stuff but in the end I
still can't use my floppy drive.
