Hi,

I want to disable floppy from setup on a Compaq 600/66MHz system.
F10->Advanced->Onboard devices->Diskette controler=Disable ->F10

After restarting I get the following 2 error messages:
601- Diskette Controler Error . The drive is not installed corectly or has failed. ...
162 -System Options Not Set
I can boot and then I can see that the floppy is disabled(explorer)
If I set the system with default settings I get no error.

How can I disable floppy drive and get no error ?

Thanks in advance.
 
Unplug the data cable from the drive, and go to the BIOS and change the 3-1/2" floppy to NONE.
