Sounds possible. Go into your bios, and turn off floppy seek or some such command, depends on you computer.

Go into MSCONFIG and remove the line with Vfloppy.SYS that should clear it. I don't think it is part of Windows, could be something else you've installed or have now removed. Powerquest is the likely culprit.
