I don't suppose there is any way to tell if there is a floppy in a floppy
drive without activating the drive and causing it to make a noise if there
is no floppy in the drive.

Is there?




Thanks
 
Hi Academia,

There is no way to do it the way you ask because a floppy drive is an
old system and no event is fired in the system (and usb/cdrom drive does
it) at the moment of the insertion of the floppy. So the only way is to
test it.
