floppy drive

My floppy drive keeps running like it is searching for a file, if I insert a floppy in the drive it will stop. Does anyone have know how to fix this?

Welcome to CTH:)

Did you recently open your case and plug in/take out the floppy cable? make sure the cable is in right.

Hi

This is happening to me ,only when I eject the floppy before the searching cycle is completed... as per yr description,and when cycle is completed,it stops.
Is that what is happening to you?

No I havent opened the case, this has been happening for a while and I just decided to see if anyone has any idea why.

[bmohs]

No, this is happening when I boot up the computer, open a program, save a file and shut
down, It doensnt seem to matter.

What o/s are you using?..in any case go to control panel>system>device mngr>floppy disk>and try updating the driver...this might fix it...can you clarify that this happens after boot up and when you decide to save on the floppy?

I am using Windows 98, and I should have worded it differently, It happens when Windows starts up, or I open up a program, or when I save a file to my hard drive, or when I close Windows, not just one particular function.
