The strange part is that the floppy was not mounted (so far as I know -- at least I never tried to mount it). Using filemon I didn't even see A: get referenced.

I was getting attempts to access everytime... up until I took the drive out. It may still be trying for all I know. (If it's a feature of Microsoft Windows, it no doubt *is* still trying.) :) I'll have to play around with it some more when I get some free time and try to narrow it down... -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
