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? Lenster --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You know you've been on the computer too long when...

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