Guess that you have a Dimension 1100/B110, if you do not have a floppy drive, then the BIOS could be looking for the drive which is not there, so it returns the error.  
Try disabling the floppy drive in the BIOS, so that it will no longer look for the drive and not return the error.
 
If the above does not solve the problem, then check the procedures in this post,
