Drive A:\(floppy) Scanning Error Fixed

In the latest version of Autorun Eater(v2.0), there were feedbacks stating that there were errors scanning drive A:\ when a floppy wasn’t inserted.

The only way to fix this problem, I guess is to make Autorun Eater skip drive A:\. I did try another way that is to determine if a floppy is present or not but this only caused the drive to become noisy on and off so the former option is probably the best. Furthermore, more and more comps do not have drive A:\ these days.

Pros - No error messages when scan is started

Cons- Users are not protected from suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ file(s) on floppies.

Drives A: and B: can now be manually scanned starting from Autorun Eater v2.2.

    when insert other usb then message: Billy.exe - No disk. There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive \Device\Harddisk2\DR34

    Old McDonald: Regarding your problem, someone else has also pointed it out to me. Did the problem occur when you plugged in an empty USB card reader into your computer while Autorun Eater was running?

    I’m currently fixing the bug and will release the fixed version in version 2.2. At the mean time, please exit Autorun Eater and uninstall it. I’ll inform you once it is ready.

    Thank you for the feedback, it very much appreciated.
