Get strange new message when I boot up XP?

I just did yet another WinXP Home install and now I get this black screen when my machine boots up. It shows the BIOS info and says "Diskette drive 0seek failure". I have no idea what that means. I do notice in the My Computer list of drives and so on it shows an A floppy drive which I don't have. Could that be it? Anyway, how do I get rid of this black screen message? Thanks.

Go into the bios setup and disable the floppy drive.
