Microsoft Fast Find periodically searches the floppy drive

I have a comment about Stop Windows from Randomly Searching the Floppy Drive:

Microsoft Office 97 installs Fast Find indexing by default into the startup folder. It will periodically check the floppy drive when it indexes the system. If you rarely search for files from within Microsoft Office, you can turn off Fast Find by removing it from the Startup folder. C:\WINDOWS\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\

Ideally, don't install it to begin with. If you still have your CD you can use the add/remove features function to uninstall Fast Find permanently.
