That is exactly what it is trying to do. But hopefully it is just checking if there is a floppy there. If you were to go into Control Panel, then open System Properties. After the window pops up, click on the Performance tab, then look toward the bottom for a tab named File System and click on it. Now you will see a new smaller window open up named File System Properties, click on the tab named Floppy Disk. You will see a checkbox with the line "Search for new floppy disk drives each time your computer starts", uncheck the box. Click on Apply, then OK.
Good luck.
