Hello petertomblin,

It seems that this message is coming because of settings in the BIOS.

The computer has a floppy drive?

If so, is it operational?

Nevertheless, we want to get into the BIOS and disable the startup procedure floppy drive,

It is this best with support of the manufacturer of your.

PLEASE NOTE:

BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

Best regards
