#Floppy/CD problem

I have a floppy disk drive problem on my A4000/40, WB3.1. DF0: does not recognise an Amiga formatted disk when inserted while the system is running. I get the DF0:NDOS icon. However, I can boot from the same disk! Also, when using Shapeshifter, a floppy already in the drive when the Mac is booted will be recognised, whereas a floppy inserted afterwards will not. This problem has arisen at the same time as I am having problems reading CDs. Using the Index Guide on Aminet 7 fails more often than not. Either the file is not decompressed to RAM, or fails to be displayed or played. I can move the files with DirOpus, though. The only visible sign is that I get a yellow screen on reboot. Never when the computer is first booted, but always on reset. Any help would be much appreciated. Pete
