Something wrong with my server, the floppy drive was keep proccessing something while there is no diskette inside and no action on the floppy before. I already restart the server and it become normal again, but for a few minute the drive is back again to access (shown by the led indicator of the floppy drive), i never do something related with the floppy drive.
 
Sounds like the floppy data cables is reversed....
 
but if i put floppy inside and access it there is no problem, i can access it normaly
 
Then it sounds like Floppy Seek is enabled in the cmos setup program. You can disable it so it will not do it during booting.
 
If it happens at other times it could be an antivirus program or another software program or even a virus causing it to occur.
