[solved] Is LMDE trying to access floppy at boot?

Post by Ahmad »

Hi, I have noticed that during boot of my pc the computer is hanging down a bit during the "Loading" note. After that it gives I/O error for fd0 and then continues to boot normally. To my understanding this is the floppy drive which I have none on my pc, so my question is if there is a way to stop the system checking for floppy at boot? There is nothing in fstab related to fd0 and I am running LMDE 64-bit.
Help very appreciated , thanks.

While booting, hit delete several times. This will take you into the BIOS.
Go into "boot sequence" and disable the floppy.
Many motherboards are a bit different in the way the BIOS works but once you see it, it's very straight forward.
