why does this happen? how do I "reset" a floppy drive (in windows) so that it
tells me what's on the current disk, not what was on the previous disk that's been
removed.

WHICH version of Windoze?
What specific kinds, sizes, brands, and models, of drives?
Some drives have a "disk changed" signal; some have "Drive Ready"
In CP/M, whenever you changed disks, you were 'sposed to press Ctrl-C to
tell the OS that you had done so, so that it knew not to believe the
buffer contents.
That was still implemented in early versions of MS/PC-DOS.

Chris. Can I ask you stop and consider if you really need to post/reply.
Not every thought that enters ones head needs to be translated into a list
posting It feels like a stream of consciousness sometimes.
