Why is my zipdrive starting up when XP boots up ?

It never used to happen and it happens if I use it for a while turn it off and reboot my zipdrive at the XP title screen boots up and then my comp loads up properly what could be the cause of this ?

Did it never happen when your zip drive was connected (external?)?

If it is a internal drive… Use the search option on this board. It has been explained multiple times that Windos is “randomly” loading drivers which can cause things like this.
