Floppy Drive LED

There is a known issue with Windows that causes the LED on a floppy disk drive to blink when a program uses VSS to make a copy of an open file.

To fix this problem on systems that do not have a floppy drive but may see an error, you must disable the nonexistent floppy drive.

  1. On the Windows desktop, go to Start → Control Panel → System and Security and click Device Manager.
  2. Double-click Floppy drive controllers.
  3. Right-click the floppy disk controller and choose Disable.
