Floppy Drive chatter

Hi all,
I’ve been member since 2004 and still haven’t seen this question posted so here goes? Could someone give me some clues as to why a floppy drive in the home suddenly is activated? No disks are in the drive and the computer was only turned on to give the laptop access (thru the network) to the printer. I’ve noticed this “chatter” a couple of times and it is begining to really get my attention. Would sure appreciate an answer.
