I've looked around the forums like 10 times trying to find out where to post this....eh, no idea where this thread should be. ANYWAY, heres the problem.

- I have a computer with a floppy disk drive connected, by sata cable, to the motherboard. I want to disconnect the floppy disc and connect a dvd-drive to the computer in order to re-flash the bios of the dvd drive. Problem is, whenever I disconnect the floppy disk from the sata cable the computer won't boot, at all. How can I fix this and connect the DVD drive?

I've got a Dell with windows XP.
