| 1136948 | 2010-09-14 22:15:00 | I did advanced Google search using your keywords (and combo's), and this site pops up often: VMware Digest (blogs.vmware.com). Might suggest issues with VMware. The site has dozens of articles, with mention of VMware tools. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1136949 | 2010-09-14 23:35:00 | Does anything show up in the event logs? There was, but the error popped up around the 7th of the month and we just did nothing about it for a week because we knew it wouldn't affect anything, until curiosity got the better of me and I had to investigate it further. It's been going on for a wee while now, and it's not a critical error because everything's working while that error's on-screen, with the exception of SNMP monitoring. Yes, we're backing it all up regularly. :banana I tried making an empty disk image in linux and formatting it as FAT12, so I've mounted that disk image in vmware tools in a bid to see if it was trying to write to the floppy drive. We tried messing with the CDRom drive letter / connection / disconnection and it still kept coming up :( So, this morning, no error on screen. I *thought* it was occurring daily so it may be that the floppy disk image has resolved it? Who knows ... Guess I'll just have to wait a few more days and see. I'll look into the VMWare Digest site now and see what that brings up, in case it is vmware specific. Thing is we've got about 30 other VM's here, mostly Server 2003 / 2008r2, yet none of them have the issue :-/ Still, in the mean time, I'm all ears for any additional suggestions! Thanks Chill. |

| 1136950 | 2010-09-15 00:55:00 | Maybe check out here (communities.vmware.com), and the last post, where it was something to do with a shared folder having a missing directory within VMWare. | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1136951 | 2010-09-16 23:26:00 | Was the issue resolved - and if so, what was the cause? Thanks... | kahawai chaser (3545) | ||
| 1136952 | 2010-09-16 23:51:00 | So far, by mounting the virtual disk image, things seem OK. No idea why ... or what's causing it ... But yeah things seem OK now I've got that virtual floppy drive mounted. Odd indeed! |

| 1136953 | 2010-09-27 19:58:00 | Almost two weeks on now, and it appears as though mounting the virtual floppy image I create has solved the issue. The question now: What on earth on that machine was looking for something in the floppy drive?! |

| 1136954 | 2010-09-27 20:04:00 | A/V schedule? | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 1136955 | 2010-09-27 22:36:00 | Nope, no A/V scheduled scans. Updates daily at 9:30AM (The error was occuring around 7:45 -> 8AM). Nothing in windows scheduled tasks either. |

| 1136956 | 2010-09-27 23:37:00 | You might find clues by reading the comments from the MS Article from pctek; Some seem to blame a USB drive not being removed properly (and then reinserted), which had triggered the error you receive - basically trying to find a drive that was present. Apparently ini files (I think) were copied over causing issues. Yet another says a bios type virus, and so on. One person even blamed a USB mouse/software. Another traced by using Task manager (when pressing "try again"), and found a cyber link service and stopped by starting in msconfig. |
