SYMPTOMS
When you are running FRS on a server (either for DFS replicas or on a domain controller), every five minutes, the floppy drive may spin up. In the FRS debug logs, entries that are similar to the following entries may appear at the same time:

 WARN - GetvolumeInformation for A:\; WStatus: ERROR_NOT_READY



CAUSE
This problem can occur because FRS should be skipping removable drives when it is building the drive table.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, install the fix that is available through the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

307319 Changes to the File Replication Service



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
