Abstract
This invention relates to a system and method for determining the media type of a removable magnetic media, such as a floppy diskette or tape. The system performs an analysis of the media type of the removable magnetic media only after a data error is returned. If the computer does not return a data error, the system assumes that the removable magnetic media currently being read is the same media type as the previously read removable magnetic media
