168418 2003-08-18 09:49:00 Everytime I shut down my computer the floppy drive gets spun for about 4 seconds even if there is no disk in it. This also happens at start up and other times when I am in Explorer, the noise is extremely annoying and the way things are going the drive is going to wear out. I have tried everything I can think of for months now, does anyone have any ideas?
Regards
Robert.
