Hello,                  

Try this 1                  

There might be an autorun.inf file which is creating such an issue for you.     

Follow all the  steps given below            

1) Disable the "Autoplay" feature. Click on the below link "Disable Autoplay",                  

and download the file --> Double-click on it and follow the instructions.                  

Disable Autoplay           

2) Disable the "Autorun.inf". Click on the below link and follow the instructions.                  

First backup your registry. Click on Start --> Run --> Type regedt32 and 

press  Enter.

[If you are using Windows 7 then click on Start --> In search bar, type

regedt32 and press Enter] 

 "Registry Editor" will be opened.                   

Now backup your registry by going to "File --> Export" --> Save the file with           

any name in your desired location.                  

Copy the text starting from "REGEDIT4" upto @="@SYS:DoesNotExist"                  


REGEDIT4                  
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\IniFileMapping\Autorun.inf]                  
@="@SYS:DoesNotExist"  
Open a "Notepad" --> Paste it --> Save the file as fix.reg                  

Note: Don't forget the extension "reg"                   

Now double-click on the fix.reg file and then click on "Yes" to merge it,                 

[Note : After following the above instructions, whenever you place any autoplay                  

CD\DVD all you have to do is go to "My Computer" --> Open the CD\DVD drive

I have the same issue too, but no solution at the moment. It affected only the files, not the folders, nor the content in the folders. As well as something is trying to read or write on the floppy drive, but there is no floppy inserted.
