Volume Shadow Copy Service Error - Generic Floppy Drive

We appear to be getting an error in our event logs for our vCenter server, this is a virtual machine and previously did have a floppy disc component on the VM.

I have disabled this, uninstalled this and disabled from the bios of the virtual machine, but I still appear to be getting the below error messages when our snaps run.

Can anyone advise?

Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error DeviceIoControl(\\?\fdc#generic_floppy_drive#6&2a770f87&0&0#{53f5630d-b6bf-11d0-94f2-00a0c91efb8b} - 00000000000003DC,0x00560000,0000000000000000,0,0000004438AEC080,4096,[0]). hr = 0x80070001, Incorrect function. .

Has anyone seen this issue before and if so how did they resolve this issue?
