1. Go into BIOS Setup and disable Floppy drive (even though you don't have one).

2. Try alternately pressing F5 then F8 every second or so after the manufacturers logo appears.

I have done followings:

Here is the bios boot sequence:

No. 1

1. sata h/d
2. cd rom
3.ide h/d not present
4. USB floppy disk not present
5. usb device

This is the set up I have in my bios

No. 2

I can see the floppy when I click my computer it shows up as a "A" drive.

I have uninstalled floppy drive and floppy drive controller several time but it comes back every time I start my computer.

No. 3

I have tried F1, F2, F4, F8 and F12 to go to safe mode but nothing works.

In BIOS, you have to find something looking like this. For "Drive A" you have yo choose Not Present/None/Disable, or something like that.
