Disable check of floppy drive on windows start

[askme]

Hello!
first i want to say that i do not have problems with bios setting.
System boots normally with Windows XP Embedded and a short time before
and after startup sound windows checks the 3 1/2'' Floppy Drive (no
diskette in).
How can i disable this?
I've seen some articles describing that this depends on "my recent
documents". But I disabled history for recent documents in gpedit. i
also cleared the hsitory for theese files in taskbar properties.
please help me.

Hi askme. Does your runtime actually need to use the floppy drive for any
reason? If not, you can safely remove the "Floppy disk drive" and "Standard
floppy disk controller" components, and your runtime will not enumerate that
drive or attempt to use it.
