Floppy Drive

[denverbronco26]

Ok well I just recently removed my floppy drive from my computer and i was looking through the device manager and noticed that the floppy drive was still listed there even after i told it to be removed it came back. I have an idea on what to do but dont want to screw anything up. Do I remove the floppy drive controller and floppy drive on the device manager at the same time?

I'm not sure i understand your predicament, but i'll try:

Is the floppy drive not installed into your comp, hardware wise?
if it isnt:

1. right click the drive under device manager and uninstall the driver

i uninstall the floppy drive but i left the floppy drive controller there and whenever i reboot the system the floppy is reloaded onto it. Im asking if i should uninstall the floppy controller too.

Go into your bios and disable your floppy port and it wont show up anymore.

my question is really what is the floppy controller and can it be removed?

Its the thing that controls the floppy. Its not doing any harm. I'd just leave it there.

 

[denverbronco26]

well i mean because i removed the actual floppy drive

Your floppy drive is not the same as your floppy the drive controller. the controller "controls" the drive, and wont be removed unless you disable it in the bios, but it will have no effect whatsoever so id just leave it.
