When I boot up my W2K (SP4) system with a USB Flash Drive attached, a
second floppy drive ("B") mysteriously shows up in Device Manager and
doesn't go away until I reboot without the flash drive attached. When I
boot up without the USB device and plug it in hot, the second floppy
drive does not appear. Any ideas why this is happening, if it's a
problem or how to solve it?
 
Thank you. But my noviceness is showing... I forget what keys I'm
suppose to hit upon boot up in order to access the BIOS settings. Can
you refresh my fading memory?
 
It depends on the motherboard BIOS manufacturer. But it is usually "F2"
or "Del". Less common are F10, and Esc.
