XP checks floppies on shutdown

XP MCE 2005
When I do a shutdown or shutdown / restart, I get an error popup
complaining that there is no disk in the floppy drive. I have two
floppies and if I click ignore, I get the error again for the other
drive. If I watch the drives, each one is being selected in turn. If I
do nothing, the error times out and shutdown proceeds normal.ly

I have tried terminating every running task and all the services that
I could to no avail.

Even stranger, I have a dual boot setup with XP Pro SP2 on another
partition which I haven't used in months. It does the same thing so I
don't think it is some application I recently installed.

Any ideas?

If your running Norton Antivirus you have to get into advanced options
and de-select "check floppy drives on startup and shutdown"

Not onlt limited to Norton but most antiviurus systems seem to have this
option.
