Hello,
I have real all of gorups opinions and still have that,

Sometimes, at start-up process, Windows XP checks my Toshiba Satellite
notebook's floppy drive, and look is if sometimes is in it or not.


I have tried these,


1-In Services, Shell Hardware Detection service is set to "AUTOMATIC"
2-No Anti-virus software is installed
3-I'm running on WinXP Pro + SP2
4-I've contacted Microsoft but not newer suggestions.

I configured msconfig with disabled all of Non-Microsoft services and
disabled all of start-up items for a test.

But although i tried all of these, my floppy is checked by Windows at
startup in SOMEDAYS.

I don't estimate checking period and i wonder what's it about.

Regards.

I alsi disabled "task scheduler" service, but somedays the floppy is
still checked.

Have you modified your BIOS to exclude the floppy drive from the boot
sequence?

Hi,
My question is not actions for BIOS, this auto-check is applied all of
XP users as i saw.

So any idea?

Thanks.

Is there another trick to provide auto floppy acces at start-up for XP
SP2?

Thanks.
