I am trying to reformat an older hard drive so that I can put xp on it cleanly. It previously had 98 on it. I put it as a slave on another computer and reformatted it, then shutdown and put it as the master and unhooked the other hd. On startup, it goes through the bios, but asks for a floppy drive. I don't even have the floppy drive hooked up. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help.
