| 34705 | 2002-02-07 01:16:00 | I had a system crash a couple of days ago, and since then, whenever the computer is rebooted it keeps reading the A: drive when coming into the windows enviroment. Reads the drive for about 10 to 15 seconds before stopping. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to stop this happening. My operating system is 'Windows ME' Dave |

| 34707 | 2002-02-07 06:22:00 | Hi David Also try/do, right click my computer, left click properties-performance-file system properties-floppy disk (tag) and uncheck 'Search for new floppy drives each time your computer starts.' HTH Murray |

| 34709 | 2002-02-07 22:02:00 | I have noticed this effect if the A: drive was the current selected drive in Win Explorer when your system last shut down. Even if Explorer is not an active task it seem to lurk in background and checks its 'current' device:directory when it starts up. jt |
