Boot to the live cd and mount the system partition for your installed system.

You will then need to run:

gksudo nautilus

and navigate to

/media/<some UUID>/boot/grub

and open:

grub.cfg

You can then remove the --no-floppy option from any entry you see, save the new file and reboot to the installed system (remove live CD)

You should now get a desktop. You can then run:

gksudo gedit /usr/lib/grub/grub-mkconfig_lib

and again, delete the --no-floppy save the new file and close gedit.

Now when you run: sudo update-grub

The option will not be added ;)
