Hehe, no, not at all. well I've installed some tools and of course I think one of them caused it, for some reason. It may be a USB driver that I had to install in order to access a USB storage device. Or maybe an other program.
Well I have to say it happens only the first time after a reboot: when I open the workstation or when I open the search file dialog. Both of them check all drives. It feels as if windows doesn't know if there is a floppy drive so it has to test it first.
Ruz: in fact that's a mean idea to steal data form a machine that is not connected to the internet: simply mark some sectors on a floppy drive as defect, then copy your keylogger data to it. The other machine will then read it and send it "home". Common Anti-malware etc. software won't even read defect sectors. In fact I had some floppy disks with decreasing capacy, and formating them in dos with the /u /c flags turned out the floppy had no defect sectors at all.
