How to solve the problem up the msg "floppy seek failure" at the start and have to press F1 to continue?

I get the message: "diskette seek failure" on start-up and must by pressing F1 to continue.

I took actions

1. I replaced my dvd/cd drive since was noisy and not reading. (I thought I had a HW problem with the drive because it was a bit noisy etc - maybe not the problem because I always get the message)

2.i press F2 and changed my BIOS so that my hard drive and CD/DVD are the only elements used in the start menu to the top and deleted the other ports using record to remove from the boot sequence.

3. using the Device Manager I have disabled the floppy drive A and uninstalled the SW, but whenever I restart Windows it says that it detects new HW and re - install the floppy drive on A.  I don't have a floppy drive on my computer!   I don't think that I had a drive on my control panel before this problem.

Talked to Dell but my warranty is void
