Correct. If you do not have a floppy disk drive, go into the Bios and disable it.

Do you have any other external USB drives connected?

Go to bios and check the boot order. Make sure to remove any floppy drive diskette in the boot order and save the new settings. Also--You can copy all the current bios settings--anything you changed in the bios--and reset to the Bios Defaults.

I had the same problem one time and i think your Hard Drive may be dammaged. I replaced mine and it was fixed after that...
