Floppy and CD drive being accessed for no reason

[David Fairweather]

When I try to delete any file or folder on my harddrive, I get the message "Please insert disk into drive E" which is my CDRW drive. At the same time the light comes on on my A drive which is my floppy drive and it sounds like the A drive is being accessed. When I click 'cancel' on the dialog box, the message returns and the A drive is accessed again. After the third time the file gets deleted. The same thing happens when I try to move a file on the harddrive.
If anyone could shed some light on this - or at least give me something to try, I would be most grateful.
Thanks! .......David
