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?
