You need to check the BIOS settings and disable the floppy disk controller.

Even if there is no floppy drive in the PC, windows will still think there is one and list it as floppy drive A if the controller for it is still enabled.

His question was a legitimate one. This happened to me too when I first removed the floppy drive from one of my computers. Even tho the floppy drive was no longer in the PC it still showed as being there like normal. I had to go into the BIOS and disable the floppy disk controller.
