Go into you BIOS and,

A)Disable your floppy drive.
B)Set your floppy drive to be the lowest in the boot priority list.

Look for a setting that says "BootUP Floppy Seek" as well. Make sure it is disabled.

Cause:

This issue can be caused by any of the following possibilities:

Floppy cable not connected properly
Bad floppy cable
Bad Floppy drive - I/O



Floppy cable not connected properly

Verify that the floppy disk drive cable is properly connected. See document CH000277 for additional help and information about connecting the floppy drive as well as setting it up properly.

If the floppy disk drive light stays on and does not shut off see document CH000278.

Bad floppy cable

If the floppy disk drive appears to be setup properly and the light is not always on, it is possible that the floppy drive cable may be bad. We recommend you visit a local computer hardware store and purchase a new cable.

Bad Floppy drive - I/O

If the issue persists, unfortunately it is likely that either the floppy drive is bad or the I/O board or Motherboard is bad. We recommend you contact the computer manufacturer, have the computer serviced or that you replace the floppy drive then the motherboard if the issue persists.

If he had a floppy drive in the first place, then these might be some fixes

I thought he might not use it...
anyhow i think there is another option under floppy seek, is there? if so id disable it if it has to do with floppies. as i recall i had this problem as well and i had to disable both?

PS
couldn't u hit the boot option and just hit hard drive? and it should have booted up from there.
