Dell Dimension E310 Help Needed Please

I had to replace the memory in my Dell Dimension E310. I replace it with 2 1GB memory from a Dell XPS 210 system I had lying around. I finally got the memory in and my computer works but I have another problem I need help with

The problem I have is when I boot up my Dell Dimension E310, it goes threw the Dell logo screen but at the tail end of the loading bar, it freezes for a few seconds then I get this loud beep then it goes to a screen and it says;

Seek Floppy Diskette Failed 

Hit F1 To Continue or Hit F2 To Go Setup Menu

I won't this to stop if possible. I don't want to have to go threw this process every time I turn on my computer and it boots up

My question, can I stop this and if so, how? All of my cables are connect correctly. I had to replace the memory because the computer wouldn't load up and got the 3 4 on the diagnostic light say I had memory failed

I don't have a floppy drive on the Dell Dimension E310. Is there someway possible I can stop this and have my computer boot up correctly every time I turn my computer on. I had to replace the memory with memory from another computer because I don't have money right now to be honest to go out and buy brand new memory 

Do I have this issue because I took memory out of entire different computer then my Dell Dimension E310

Can I bypass the seek floppy disk option without hurting my computer

Somebody please help me out

Here is the exact message I get after it loads up from the Dell logo;

Floppy Diskette Seek Failure

So I try to reinstall my old memory in my compute that I took out?

If you don't have an internal floppy/diskette drive installed, enter the system setup and turn off that option.

See page 44 here:
