I had a similar problem.  I tried to install the Entertainment Pack in Drive
A (high-density), but DOS wanted to prompt me with "Insert disk in Drive A
and type any key to continue".  I guess this has to do with DRIVER.SYS or
something, I usually get it the first time I use a disk, or change format
(i.e.  high density to low density).  Anyway, the problem was that the
prompt didn't make it all the way through Windows and back to me, so nothing
happened (no error message, no nothing).  When I went back to DOS and tried
to read the disk, I got the message, just typed ENTER and everything was OK.
Then Windows worked normally when I went back in.
