*I'm* here................ Is there some way that I can see what's running
in the background when the problem occurs?

Default Floppy Drive problem

Normally when a program or service is activated or is utilizing the CPU,
you can view it in the Task Manager under processes and see what the
program is currently using the CPU during the drive activity. This is
assuming that the program or service that is accessing the drive is also
utilizing the CPU at the moment. It is worth a shot just to see what the
heck it is.
