floppy disk problems

[chichi88]

hi
i just built my first pc and after a few hiccups i've got it working perfectly. i've installed vista ultimate 32bit and have a problem with my floppy disk. it doesn't exist! yet the pc thinks that it does... assigned drive A: to it like usual. is it possible to get rid of it? i dont think it affects anything but i just dont like it there

Your MB has a floppy disk header and the BIOS detects that floppy disk connector. So, just because you have not installed a 'floppy disk drive' to your system, the capability is still present and can not be removed.

Go into your bios in find the floppy disk type option and set to none/disabled. That should sort it.
