Hi,

That would be my best guess at this point, if you don't have a floppy drive. If you do have one, then simply flip the cable over as suggested by dai.

If you do not have a floppy, then most of the boot order sequences have a floppy listed in there. What I would do is enter the BIOS setup menu and make sure that a floppy is not listed in that boot order, you would have to set yours to:

CDRom - 1st
Hard Drive - 2nd

If you do have a floppy in this computer, set it up as:

CDRom - 1st
Floppy - 2nd
Hard Drive - 3rd

If there is a floppy listed in the first section of the BIOS setup menu, then make sure it is disabled in that area if you have no floppy.

Don't forget to save before you exit and post back if that does not solve your problem.
