if the seek only happens at boot time, it is okay, and you can remedey that by going into the BIOS setting of you computer and disabling " Seek floppy" option.

Also if this occurs during the normal operation of your computer, i would just run a virus checker and make sure that the computer is no infected.

You can also uncheck the Floppy in "performance".
right mouse on "My Computer", select properties the click on the "Performance Tab" and slect the "fFloppy' and finally uncheck "search Floppy". i don't know if this really helps, but I did it on hundreds of W9x computers when I set them up.

One more thing, if you have anti-virus software the default setup is to scan the floppy drive at boot.
