Generic Floppy drive problem...

Hi,

I have windows XP with SP2 and when I shutdown my system for some reasons my Generic floppy drive (for diskette 3.5'') make a lot of noises (there is no diskette on the drive)
Somebody know what could be the problem and how to make my Generic Floppy drive stop going crazy at shutdown?

Thanks,

does your antivirus have a setting to scan floppies on shutdown? if so, try disabling that option.

 

Hi WSFuser,

I use NOD32. Do you know where and how to check that on NOD32?

Also, could it be a driver problem? If so, where do I go to download the updated driver?

Thanks,

i think it may under AMON > Setup > Detection tab, but i dont have NOD32 so i cant verify.

 

Thanks, you were right! I disable the scan at shutdown and will see if it works when I actually shut down my system ;-)

 

After shuting down my system last night, I can confirm that it was NOD32 scan at shutdown that was making my Floppy Drive make a lot of noise... Thank's WSFuser

Since my problem was related with NOD32, Maybe a MOD could transfert this threads to the NOD32 forums

Thanks,
