Ok, Im running Windows XP Pro, lates patches and all... I have not installed any new software lately nor have I used my floppy drive (who does?) :) but for the past two days its been reading constantly and its very annoying, sorta like when you have a disk and take it out and you keep hitting retry to try to read it, but Im not even trying to access it and it will look for something... no matter what I do, even if I don't do anything just leave the computer alone, it will try to look for a floppy all the time... any ideas? I do have NAV 2003, but I've looked and there's nothing there that checks the floppy that i can disable... I know on Win 9X there was an option under system and performance to uncheck "Search for new floppy" or something like that, but I have not found anything similar to that on XP Pro... Any help Please... Thanks...

Yes is me again :) I know, my pc just went crazy all of a sudden... one thing that I notice WHICH might be related to my floppy disk reading problem is that when I insert a CD or DVD on either drive, the title remains even if I ejected the disk and inserted a new one, so for example... if I insert a dvd movie on the dvd player, it plays fine... but if i take it out and insert a music cd, it will not see it, if you double click the drive, it still thinks it has the movie inside and opens up the dvd player software... even if I keep hitting F5, but if I right click and explore, i see the new content, but the label remains as the old one, I have to restart the computer for it to work fine again...

On your second post, it's a WinXP bug. It doesn't refresh properly. Maybe MS will get around to fixing it someday :-\ On your first post, mine does that also after I have accessed a floppy for its data. It can go on for some time but eventually stops.

Great, Thanks....the damn CD have not been refreshing for about a week now, hope that goes away as well...
