Have to press F1 each time I restart my computer
Just asked and got a solution to a question about a blue screen and not being able to start my computer in normal or safe mode (solved by using Kaspersky rescue disk). In the process I had changed boot order so I could boot from USB. After the cure for the blue screen I changed boot order back to what is was before which is Hard disk, optical disk, USB. But now, each time I reboot I get a message "Floppy disc(s) fail (40)" and I have to press F1 to continue to the hard disk boot-up. So far as I know I changed nothing else in correcting the blue screen problem. The F1 thing is not a big problem but is annoying. Any solution that works will be appreciated.I searched the knowledge base for a solution but found none that seemed appropriate for my situation and computer.

Try to disable the Floppy, be sure he is not in the boot order and if yes it better be after the Harddrive. or you can just restaure the Default Bios setting. (Look for that option in your Bios.)
I would agree with the_endjinn check your boot order or you should disable the floppy drive in the BIOS.
After making the setting and power down your system. After some time power up and check the settings
are still valid in the BIOS.
If the CMOS battery is weak, the settings can go hay wire when the power is switched off.

That was easy enough. This computer never has had a floppy disk drive but somehow in solving the blue screen problem it was turned on. Thanks.
Glad you have it sorted now.
Perfect !
