Hello,

I rarely use my floppy, but did a while back, now every time XP boots up, I
hear the floppy grinding and gnashing as XP supposedly looks for a disk in
the drive ...??

any way to stop the grindig and gnashing?

thanks!!

My Virus checker or XP checks the floppy so after grinding one to death I
leave a bootable floppy in the drive with the BIOS startup on the hard drive
and the grinding noise disappeared at the same time my 3rd wife left with
her noise.

Change the preference of your boot at the BIOS stage. i.e. press <del>
when your PC starts to boot; this will take you to the initial setup.
 
thanks, but this is not a BIOS issue. BIOS only seeks the boot device.
This is WINDOWS. after booting is complete, grinding away at the floppy.
