I have recently upgraded from ME to XP Home and have noticed my floppy drive searching at the point my users appear on the welcome screen.

I have searched the net and this site and tried about everything there is to solve this problem. The only software I had installed around the time I noticed this was Office 2000 and AVG Antivirus. I had also made a startup floppy and AVG rescue disks. (Those being the only times I have used the floppy drive since installing XP).

This is what I've tried so far:

- Cleared out recent documents
- Turned off all startup programs that load with windows via MSCONFIG (incl AVG)
- Disabled floppy drive seek in BIOS
- Searched registry for references to a:\ (there were none)
- Up-to-date virus scans

Can anyone offer anymore suggestions?
