>> Hi Tom,
>>
>> Thanks for posting here. Also thanks for Mak's reply.
>>
>> Tom, from your post, my understanding of this issue is: On each boot and
>> shutdown, the floppy drive is accessed. If this is not correct, please
>> feel free to let me know.
>>
>> I agree with Mak, you may check the related settings of Antivirus
software
>> first of all. As far as I know, most of the similar issues were caused
by
>> improper settings of Antivirus software.
>>
>> Actually, the "Floppy Seek setting" option as you mentioned (should be
>> "Search for new floppy disk drives each time your computer starts") was a
>> setting of Windows 98, and does not affect Windows XP any more.
>>
>> Furthermore, you may test this issue in Safe Mode. To do this, follow
>> these steps:
>>
>> 1. Start the computer, and then press the F8 key after the Power On Self
>> Test (POST) is completed.
>> 2. On the Windows Advanced Options Menu, use the ARROW keys to select
>> Safe
>> Mode, and then press ENTER.
>> 3. Use the ARROW keys to select your Windows XP installation, and then
>> press ENTER.
>> 4. Log on to the computer, and then click Yes to work in safe mode.
>>
>> If the issue disappears in Safe Mode, please refer to the following steps
>> to perform a Clean Boot:
>>
>> Use Clean Boot to eliminate third-party interference
>> =====================
>> To isolate the influence of additional applications, please boot the
>> system
>> into a Clean Boot environment to see whether this problem continues. A
>> clean boot will allow us to isolate any device drivers or programs that
>> are
>> loading at startup that may be causing a conflict with other device
>> drivers
>> or programs that are installed in your computer.
>>
>> 1. Click Start, click Run, type "msconfig" (without the quotation marks)
>> in
>> the Open box, and then click OK.
>> 2. In the Startup tab, click the "Disable All" button.
>> 3. In the Services tab, check the "Hide All Microsoft Services" checkbox,
>> and then click the "Disable All" button.
>> 4. Click OK and restart your computer.
>>
>> If your issue is resolved at this point, repeat the process, but add one
>> check back each time to the list of files listed under the "Startup" and
>> "Services" menu until the issue reappears again, when this happens follow
>> these steps:
>>
>> 1. Select the tab for the last file you enabled and remove the checks
from
>> each line in that file.
>> 2. Click the Apply button
>> 3. Reboot your computer and verify the issue has not reappeared.
>> 4. Replace each check mark one line at a time.
>> 5. Click the Apply button.
>> 6. Reboot your computer.
>>
>> When the issue reappears you will then know which line or command is
>> causing the issue.
