Bug Description

The latest update 0.8.69 keeps trying, every second or so, to access my floppy drive (A:) which makes a ratcheting noise in the process. Unbearable, so have had to revert to 0.7.20 which does not do this.
Also the install process for 0.8.69 take > 5 minutes to complete i.e appears to hang at the end, although it eventually clears.

it happens on 0.8.89 and the previous version (I upgraded to 0.8.89 because of it). The floppy drive stays on even after a disc is inserted. Home brew computer with WinXP SP3

Maybe it happens when Claibre looks at the drives?

I bet none of your testers have a floppy drive in their systems. :)
