re: Solution for 'Stop Windows from Randomly Searching the Floppy Drive' Sunday, September 11, 2005 at 6:53 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Mike Davis (1 messages posted) Many years ago I found a .pif file was causing this under windows95, so I searched for *.pif and found one DOS shortcut under Windows. I attempted to run the file & it started a floppy drive seek immediately, so I deleted it and voila' no more random floppy seek problem.
