>>        Alright, when I shut down win95, it makes this loud floppy
        drive
(1.44 drive) seeking noise. I have a 1.2 floppy drive installed also,
but win95 does not seek that drive.
        Okay, I understand that this probably happens with every
        computer
while shutting down. But sometimes weird things happens, for instance,
in a dos window in win95, when i type dir g: (g drive is my cdrom
drive), it seeks the floppy drive. And it makes this annoying floppy
drive seek noise. <<

This is a common problem with anti-virus software, especially McAfee.
 I don't know if it damages anything other than our nerves, but you
can figure many virus scanners, including McAfee, not to check the
floppy drive for viruses at shutdown.

Good luck.
