Disk Utility Locked

When system boots up, the Drive Space box pops up with Disk A highlighted and states removable drive on this computer. When trying to save a word document onto a disk to the floppy drive, the hourglass hangs there for several minutes, then message read Disk Utility has locked. Where do I go to unlock it and have access to saving documents onto floppy disk? Do I mount or unmount disk space?

Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

 

Not completely sure if this is the problem but do you have Norton software loaded on the PC? If so, I don't use Nortons but I believe the setting to try turning off is called "Auto Protect".

 

I use Mcafee, version 4.5.1 and installed it about 2-3 weeks ago. I'll take a look if there's something there to check or uncheck. I'll let you know. Thanks for reply.

 

Try disabling the McAfee component called "Safe and Sound" and see if it still does it.

 

What OS is this? Looks like Win98....is this a zip or LS-120 drive we are talking about here? What is the message that pops up exactly?

 

And I find the safe and sound where in Mcafee? The OS is Windows ME and I'm unable using floppy disk to save to the A drive. It seems there a Disk Utility that 's locked.

 

I'm not sure since I don't use MCAfee.

What other software besides McAfee do you have installed on the PC? It may also be some other software locking it like FirstAid, Nuts and Bolts, etc....
