    Description

      See screenshot of what happens if I try to run the example in qtsystems\examples\systeminfo\qml-storageinfo. I haven't seen messages like this for many years, and this system doesn't have any floppy drives anyway. Perhaps the BIOS was configured to assume that there is one, but Windows knows better: explorer only shows drives that actually exist. Even worse: the dialog keeps popping up regardless which of the 3 buttons I choose on the dialog. The only way to stop it is to kill the process (qml-storageinfo.exe) and then hit Cancel one last time.
