I have just constructed a box using P4-1500 running NT4 using Asus motherboard. When I boot, the os stops at the A: drive (floppy disk) and prompts for a disk and running, i.e. it wants the drive ready. No amount of pormpting will cause it to abort.During normal activity, it also expects the floppy drive to have a disk in and be ready, which can be a bit of a pain. What option is there to alleviate this?

First,check the BIOS setup configuration to see if the floppy is listed as first device to seek for booting computer,this can be changed to the C-drive,CD-ROM,A-drive

After checking configuration,boot computer click on Start->Settings->Select theTaskbar from menu,when window opens,click on Advanced tab and clear the documents,it may be seeking setup from the documents folder that were used during setup
