Computer accesses floppy drive for a few seconds during shutdown or restart
Situation:
When shutting down your computer without a floppy disk in the floppy drive, your
computer may attempt to access your floppy drive for a few seconds before continuing
with the shutdown process.
Solution:
Norton AntiVirus is checking your floppy drive to determine if a disk is inserted
so that it can be scan for malicious code.
To disable this function of Norton AntiVirus, follow these steps
Launch Norton AntiVirus (click Start>Programs>Norton AntiVirus> Norton AntiVirus
2003 or Norton AntiVirus 2004).
Click Options.
Under the System heading, click Auto-Protect.
Select the Advanced option and uncheck "Scan floppy disk in A: for boot viruses when
shutting down."
Click OK.
The next time that you shut down your PC, the prolonged disk access should not happen.
