Thx for the info then i know my hdd is dead soon, hdds for the moment are rather cheap gona get me perhabs a 1 gb drive next month hope the disk dont die until then.

Just my luck owell wounder how long my drive can keep up months days? for the moment i dont experinces boot problems or slowdowns or lost files just a warning from windows and the hdd tool that the realocted sector count is somthing prolematic

I have a little problem with my wd hdd reporting smart data error on the "reallocted sector count" for a couple of days the current data tab was 62 and now it has gone down to 49 is this god or bad?

I have been doing some research and its seams to be antivirs fault anyway i read in a forum that theres a bug with antivir scaning tool that is causing the random floppy seeks read here http://forum.avira.com/wbb/index.php?page=Thread&threadID=109307 furter down there they are taking up windows 7 error hope this will help others for the moment, wait to see if antvir fix this bug.

I have tried your method reinstall the drivers and that dident work. I dont find floppy drivers from intel or amd. And i am using a Nforce4 motherboard with the latest drivers 15.XX somthing. WIn 7 is still scaning the floppy drive.

Hello I have a anoying problem with my windows 7. Yesterday the os has been scanning the floppy drive when there is no floppy in there it does that in a cuple of minuts then it can go 10 minutes and so on. I have lookupd my antivirus software "antvir" and there is no timed setting for scanning the floppy so it cant be that. I have searched evry setting in windows 7 and i cant find were it could be wy windows 7 i scanning the floppy drive. Does any one having any clue why windows 7 is trying to scan the floppy drive?
