So they want to disable the floppy drive for anything other than your app?
Not simple.

About the easiest way (and it's not so easy, I assure you) I can think of is
to hook certain APIs and check for applications targetting the floppy drive.
There are various SDKs available for doing system-wide API hooks, but
they're not free... at least US$499 not free.

There's an article on API hooking, with a variety of handy links, here:
