Hey peeps the thing is i have had a had a pc built with no floppy drive as i never used one so i thought id wouldnt have one.........anyways the pc run with no probs for a couple of months then i brought a new dvd drive and all of a sudden when i reboot windows xp sp2 PLUG and plays and finds a floppy drive.

I have checked all the ribbons no probs as i can see

i wouldnt mind but as i EITHER shutdown or restart it says about 15 time that the A: drive maybe be open please close it and i get 2 OPTIONS ignore cancel and continue but no matter whati press about 5 seconds later the same message comes up and this will last for over a minute b4 the pc shuts down

Any ideas any1

Cheers See if you can disable the FDD from the BIOS.i have tried disabling but the pc wont BOOT up afterwards but in the boot setup in BIOS theres no sign of it anywhere

What if you disable the FDD in the device manager? That way, the errors should stop.that does stop the errors but only until i restart the pc then the pc plugs and plays and finds the drive from outta no-where.

Thanks for the replies Did you uninstall or disable it?

Uninstalling it will cause it to be redetected. Disabling it should keep Windows quiet.

I suggest that you thoroughfully review the BIOS. The option to disable the FDD may be hidden under an advanced menu which could possibly only be accessed if you use a certain KEY configuration.

On the GA-7N400Pro with an Award BIOS (F14) it is CTRL + F1

What BIOS are is installed?
