    Mysterious floppy drive access
    « on: July 08, 2009, 06:47:52 PM »
    Can someone please tell me why is my floppy drive being accessed sometimes when I'm on the internet, but also when I am offline, but copying files from a cd to my hard drive?

    Have a look at the this link: http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-xp/windows-xp-randomly-access-floppy-drive/13177.html (3rd post down)

    This happened to me too but it eventually went away.

    If this doesn't help - try running a full virus scan.
