After upgrading to 9.10 from 9.04 I suddenly acquired a non-existent Floppy drive.
Showing up in my Places Menu I now have this Floppy Drive and 2 spares for other drives/partitions I have mounted to the media folder.
Does anyone know of a way to remove these pointless entries?

...and 2 spares for other drives/partitions I have mounted to the media folder.

If these are mounted via fstab then maybe ck./adjust how the fstab entries are written

That explains the extra drives, as I am mounting them using the UUIDs. It doesn't explain the Floppy. I don't have a Floppy attached to this PC and I have completely removed the Floppy line from my fstab.

Try booting to your bios setup and disable/remove the floppy (diskette) drive there.

Thanks for all that. Weird that it shows a Floppy when none is installed in the system at all.
