[SOLVED] Floppy Disk(s) Fail (40)

marcford89 · 11-28-2009, 10:36 PM

I've had this error for a while. However, I have no floppy disk drive. Also, in the bios, I have no boot devices set for Floppy disks at all.

It really is only a minor nuisance having to hit F1 at every boot and restart, but I'd like to get this resolved.

Thanks in advance.

Disable the floppy in BIOS. (maybe worded as floppy seek or diskette drive)

I guess I should have listed my motherboard for specific bios outline. It is the EVGA 680i.

In the advanced BIOS features menu, I go to Removable Device Priority, where 1. Floppy Disks is listed. However, I cannot do anything with this at the moment.

In the Standard CMOS features, when going to the Halt On setting, I have a setting that states, "All , but Diskette/Keyboard", which fixed it.
