Bios Problems

This is not really a hardware problem, but this site doesn't have a bios option. I have a XPS 600 and when I reboot it stops and says "Problem with floppy disk boot, press F1 to continue, F2 for Setup" Pressing F1 allows the computer to start normally.  First I put the floppy drive last in boot sequence...no help.  Then I removed the drive from the boot sequence...no help

    You can go into your BIOS Setup and select  turn Off the Diskette Drive option which is under the Drives sub-menu and the message should be gone on the next reboot.

    Are you talking about the drives listed in boot sequence or in a different section of the BIOS because I've already removed in from the boot sequence
     
    Thanks for your help

    When you first start PC tap the f2 key and there is a menu there on left side for drives. Disable it from there is what I meant but it sounds like you did that already.
