Older versions of Norton and possibly even new ones and probably other
anti-virus software look to the floppy drive before shutting down to see it is
empty just in case a bootable diskette is there with an infected boot sector
which will infect the operating system when the computer is next started. Don't
know if it is intelligent enough to know if that facility has been disabled in
the system BIOS or not but that is probably what is happening.
If there is a diskette in the drive you would be prompted to remove it before
shutting down.
This assumes I I am correct about the cause.

Subject: windows log on?
hello list.
when shutting down my pc i have a "strange" operation going on.
well it is strange to me as i don't know why this is happening.
once i shut down from start\turn off computer\turn off it goes through it's
sequence and starts to shut down.
at one point jaws announces "windows log on", the 3 and a half inch floppy
drives seems to be accessed as if the pc is looking for a diskette and then
jaws says "unavailable".
is this a normal shut down or is there maybe a setting somewhere that isn't
right?
all help is appreciated.
stephen
