Everytime my computer opens/moves/creates/closes/ect anything(!) the a drive (3.5 floppy) acts up, and sounds like its acting like my C drive (20gig hard drive).

whats my problem??? (it just started doing this randomly today)

i restarted already, but didnt fix it.

HELP!! thanks guys
 
what do you mean acts up? like something trys to access it?
 
that sort of happens with me too, on occasion. I think it's cause some programs/files/etc... have references to the floppy drive. I'm pretty sure that if you have norton antivirus installed, it will access the floppy drive when you reboot, but not sure about other times. you actually can disable the floppy drive in the hardware manager then enable it again when you need it. but do that only as a last resort. get's to be a bit of a pain if you're in a hurry.

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
