    Hi -Z--K-

    Technically you do not have a problem. In the event of HDD failure, your computer can read from the floppy drive to begin the restore process. You can change this sequence of settings from your BIOS.
    My settings for available drives for bootup reads are as follows......
    Check HDD, if available STOP drive search, begin drive read.
    Check CD, if available STOP drive search, begin drive read.
    Check floppy drive.....ect.
    With the above approach, computer searches for a drive until it finds a "working drive ". If you configure with HDD, then checking CD, disabling floppy is acceptable. It still is accesable if needed. If this is first time in BIOS changes, please have an experienced friend walk you through. This is NOT an area you want mistakes.
