That sounds like an MS-DOS problem. Some systems didn't properly detect disk changes, so if lots of buffers were configured, the system would just keep reading the same data out of memory.
If your system is fine, and your data is on the floppy according to your friend's system, too, then the issue was most likely the library's system. That's not a floppy issue ;)
