Default Floppy Disk Failure (40) Problem

Every time I start up my pc, I always get “floppy disk failure (40)”. It prompts me to press F1 to continue or Del to enter BIOS setup. How do I fix this recurring problem? I need some advice or suggestions if I go into BIOS setup. Thank you.

1 Enter BIOS setup and disable all the drivers it doesn’t find. Your pc would be able to boot the next time you startup.

Have you installed any hard drive lately or used an external USB hard drive? I suspect something has enabled your BIOS setup. Either way, if something’s installed or not, it is likely that you have a defective drive, loose connectors or cables inside your CPU. If that's the case, go into BIOS and disable all the drives it says it isn't finding. After that, it should be able to boot.
