| 30617 | 2002-01-10 09:51:00 | Hope there's asimple answer to this one. Everytime I start my computer the floppy disk drive searches for something. It sounds like machine gun fire for about 5 seconds. It started doing it a couple of months ago. everything else works fine | Guest (0) | ||

Open your System Properties Panel [either from Control Panel - or hold down the WIN Key + Pause/Break] and go Performance Tab > File System > Floppy Disc > and uncheck (disable) the setting named 'Search for new floppy disc drives each time your computer starts' > click Apply/Okay. NOTE: in the event of a system failure - you will *still* be able to boot your system from an emergency disc. I hope this resolves your annoyance. Cheers!!! e_ |

Then turn off 'floppy seek at boot up' (it may be labeled different by similar) The option is usually found under bios features. | Guest (0) | ||
