What model PC and what Operating System?  without that all we can do is guess or offer general suggestions.  Any initial problem post should constain this info so someone can give you assistance relative to your PC.   This is usually a BIOS setup issue.  Do you have a floppy diskette drive? (most new ones do not) and if you do not, delete that from the boot sequence in the BIOS.

Salomonteneighty, if you are still having problems then go into your BIOS Setup and turn Off the Diskette Drive option which can be found under the Drives sub-menu.  The message will be gone on the next reboot.
