REQ: How can I stop floppy drive checking?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance



I have disabled the 3.5 floppy drive in the BIOS boot sequence check,
but Windows XP still checks the drive every time it loads or shuts
down even though I never use this drive. I have used it on occasion,
but not for a very long time. How can I stop Windows from checking
the floppy drive?
