Go to the "device manager" (right-click My computer-->properties-->"hardware" tab
and look for your floppy there.
simply right click and "disable".

or if you're a techie dude just unplug the cable from it inside your PC

Or if he's techie dude he could disable it in the BIOS.

Right... if you just unplug it, it will cause a boot error for some mobos.

Yeah some motherboards refuse to boot up if you unplug your A drive and don't disable it in the BIOS, so make sure you do that. Floppy drives are just a waste of space, take it out and chuck it in the bin, I done that ages ago. Use USB drives, they are small and very reliable.

when formatting a new HDD that's SATA you NEED a floppy. I always keep one on hand. and yah, can't be USB.
