Put the computer to access the floppy drive! [temp folders] [floppy drive]

2010-08-30 / Hardware / 0 Comments

Q: Hi,

Some time ago, my computer started doing this weird thing: he connects the floppy drive out of the blue (although there is nothing), stutters a few times and close up.

The damn routine is very noisy, too.

My think that it could try to get a document or a program that was ever opened directly from the floppy (I do not know what the access). Ive tried the TEMP folder clear but still nothing.

Any advice?
