Any way to set NAV to ignore A-drive?

I've been using NAV for years and have had to replace floppy drives with increasing frequency. I suspect NAV's insistence on "grinding" (polling) the empty A-drive each time it starts is at least partially responsible.

Is there any way to set NAV to ignore the A-drive as if it didn't exist? I can keep it from actively checking any floppy in the A-drive, but not from polling it at startup.

My current NAV version is 2003 Professional.

TIA!
 
Is this during startup or is there a custom scan that U use. There are customization settings to ignore the A drive and only selecting the drives that U want.
 
It occurs each time NAV starts, whether it's starting automatically when XP opens or whether I start it manually. I can set NAV to ignore the A-drive when scanning, but nothing seems to stop it from polling the drive on startup.
