re: Solution for 'Stop Windows from Randomly Searching the Floppy Drive' Friday, May 26, 2006 at 4:15 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by John Werner (2 messages posted) While this is not the best fix it will always work! Press your Windows icon key plus the Pause-break key to bring up the Systems Properties then click on hardware and then on floppy drives then DISABLE, this will stop all access to the floppy drive and is a lot easier than disconnecting the power cable to the drive!
