We have a couple IBM P4 Netvista's running win2k at work and sometimes when we insert a floppy the entire system freezes. I have never heard or seen this before, just curious if anyone else has.
 

no...but sometimes when i turn on my printer i get a BSOD...in win2k no less.

Sometimes when I flush my toilet in my bathroom, my brother's computer crashes in the other room.

Never heard of that happening, My only guess would be that its a software conflict ( Like antivirus software reading the disk..) Just a guess.

I rarely have floppy problems....It's usually my hard disk that causes all the problems ;) I do use a good anti virus though ;)
