Disable floppy drive seek in bios, put the hard drive before the floppy in the boot order.

Not sure I would make hd the first boot device. If it has a problem you never get to the floppy drive to use your emergency start disk. I did exactly this when I was building a rig a while back. Wound up having to unplug the hd cable to be able to get into it. With floppy set as first boot device it gets checked at bootup, but it's not like what you are describing.

Ichabod:
It is still not a problem to set the HD as the first boot drive. If you do have a problem at a later date, you simply go into your BIOS before the OS boots and change the floppy drive back to the first boot device and then you can boot from the floppy.
