I have a new HP and the a drive makes that rattle sound at start up. How do i stop it. I should not have to insert a disc. Thanks
 
boot into your BIOS and de-activate the floppy drive searching for a disk at
startup.

Computers are different. The instructions came in the manual with the computer. Most but not all support the Delete key.
 
Hi,

To enter the system BIOS, click start/shutdown/restart windows if you are
currently running, or simply start the system.

After windows shuts down, the machine begins to reload. At this point you
should either have a manufacturer logo screen or a POST screen that shows
the hard drives and other devices being detected. You need to enter BIOS at
this point before windows begins to load.

If it is the latter, there should be a line that says "Press <some key> to
enter setup", you will need to depress the indicated key.

If you get a manufacturer logo, you can try referring to the manual you
recieved with the pc to discover which key you need to depress while the
logo is being displayed or you can try hitting the escape key. Generally,
the keys used to enter the BIOS are F1, F2, F10, <delete>, <escape>, and the
space bar, though there are some others.

Once you have made your changes, you want to "exit saving changes", usually
F10, to restart the system.
