I have Windows 7 Pro (64-bit) as my host operating system with VMware Player 6.0.1, and I have Windows XP Pro (32-bit) and Windows ME as my guest operating systems.
The problem I have right now is that, whenever I have my WinXP guest activated, my floppy drive (yes, I still use my floppy for my ancient video games) rattles just about every 30 seconds to a minute. Either something in my guest OS keeps checking my floppy way too frequently, or VMware itself is continually checking the floppy.
This incident does not happen in my WinME guest. With the exception of disabling my floppy, how do I stop the guest, or VMware, from repeatedly accessing the floppy even when there's nothing in it?
