You might go to the BIOS setup of your computer and disable the Floppy drive.
If it is enabled, the system may think you actually have a floppy drive.

Thank you for a prompt response

Floppy is already disabled in BIOS, as i agree that if it was enabled the software might believe that it was their. any futher help you could offer would be appreciated
