Hi Guys and Gals
I just purchased this motherboard for a quick PC build for an aunt who just needs a pc for email and chatting with her son who lives in Australia.

I got this board cheap on newegg (openbox) and put everything together.

Now here is my problem. When it posts, I get a "no floppy" drive error (40). I go into bios and there is no way to turn this off.

There is the following options:

BOOT
1. removable storage <---this is where my problem lies. The A: Floppy is listed here and I can't get rid of it. I don't have a Floppy installed.
2. Hard Disk <---this is where I can choose if I want my hard drives to boot

BOOT SEQUENCE <---this is set as Hard drive then CD rom. I don't have any removable storage selected in this sequence.

I'm pretty familiar with my way around Bios'. However, the removable storage check only has one option and it says: 1. Floppy drive. It won't let me disable this.

So now I have to hit F1 EVERY time I turn the machine on to continue to boot into windows after I get the NO FLOPPY (40) error...or I can buy a floppy drive and be rid of this issue.

I really don't want to buy a floppy drive because personally I think the floppy drive needs to die and I want no part in supporting it.

Does anyone have an idea on how to solve this problem? maybe a bios update?

thanks Gang,

it's called boot floppy seek just disable it

Alternatively there is usually a "halt on: all errors: all but floppy: all but keyboard: all but keyboard and floppy" option.

I think its obvious what to do but....

Choose halt on: all but floppy.

Check out pages 61-62 in your manual if you dont have one go here http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-u [...] p?S_ID=292 hope this helps

Thanks so much for your help! Looks like my little problem is solved.

yep, always blame the hardware when you don't know what you are doing...

That's funny, I didn't notice him blaming the hardware... we must be reading different threads.
