I'd suggest looking at the logs and figure out what's breaking it, this is not normal behavior when failing to load something from a floppy. Expected behavior is to display this error message and let the user retry or abort: _Description: Cannot read floppy, or not a driver floppy. Retry? There was a problem reading data from the floppy disk. Please make sure that the right floppy is in the drive. If you continue to have trouble, you may have a bad floppy disk. -- see shy jo
