Poke about in the BIOS, there should be an option to change the SATA type. Usually you set this to IDE mode. Failing that there should be another option for the type of SATA you're using - usually in the form of Legacy, Combinated and SATA. One of these will stop the need for use of a floppy.

Of course, the legacy IDE mode causes further problems if you want to use it for hotswapping etc. But scince this is most likely not required for you, it's the best (and only) solution.
