      infoseeker.... Didn't you read what I linked for you ?........Go into bios and disable it as described below. It will still work .........

      Improving Windows XP boot speed

      Disable floppy drive seek

      The floppy drive seek BIOS option sets whether your PC will attempt to detect the floppy... a: ...drive during boot up. Whether it finds one or not, once Windows has loaded it becomes irrelevant, as control of hardware devices including drives are handed over from the BIOS to the operating system.

      [highlight]Disabling the 'floppy drive seek' option in the 'advanced BIOS features' section of the BIOS can save you a few seconds on boot up, and since the setting has no actual effect, disable it.[/highlight]
