Floppy drive check during Windows shutdown

[denbigh97]

My harddrive recently crashed, and I installed a fresh copy of Windows XP Home. I updated to SP2. However I noticed that whenever Windows shuts down, the floppy drive goes crazy. I have no idea what it's trying to find. Could someone please shed some light on this issue?

Thanks!

Do you have any Anti Virus software set to check Floppies on Shutdown?

Thanks for the replies Trevatwork and linney. I found out that it was Norton Antivirus that was accessing the floppy during shut down. Problem solved! Thanks for that link linney!!
