How does one stop Windows XP Pro from installing two floppy disk controllers upon startup? Micorosoft has bailed out on this and the XP software troubleshooter doesn't provide a solution.

Sounds like you have Floppy A and B set in the BIOS

If you know what you are doing, go into your BIOS and look for a setting similar to this:

Floppy A: 3? Floppy
Floppy B: 3? Floppy

Change the "Floppy B" line to "None" or "Not Installed"

Should work, other than that it sounds like a XP problem! *sigh* ...wouldnt be the first time
