floppy drive ?

Hello all, thanks for reading. My floppy drive seems not to be recognized by my computer, its plugged into both the power supply and my motherboard but I get this error at boot up: No Floppy Disk (40). Anyone know why? Do i need a driver or something? and also why does it take my computer so long to turn on and shut off?
Thanks,
Jim

When you start your computer is the light on the floppy drive always turned on? If it is then the cable is attached up side down on the drive.
