Hi folks,

I've got a Pentium Pro 266 computer with 64 Mb RAM and a 4Gb hard
drive computer running Windows '95 4.00b.  It's also got a 32x CD-ROM
and a Ditto Tools Iomega external tape backup.

Every 5 minutes or so, the computer tries to read the floppy drive,
and there's no disk in it.  The drive spins away for about 10
seconds, then stops.  Five minutes later, it starts again.  It
doesn't seem to be causing any problem, but the user finds it
annoying.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Holli
