Greetings,
  If there is one place to get an answer to this question, it is here
http://www.annoyances.org/win95/win95ann6.html.
Scroll down to "Stop WIN95 From Randomly Searching the Floppy Drive". I've
seen this question asked frequently on this list and I've never seen a post
that this info did not solve the problem.
  As a note, I would have my boot sequence as a: then c:. Comments from the
list?

Cheers,
