The location in the BIOS is different depending on the manufacturer but the quickest fix is to change the boot order so that the floppy is not first in the list. Then you will still be able to use the floppy but stop getting the message. To disable the floppy completely you would disable the Floppy controller and set the drive to disabled instead of 1.44MB 3.5inch .
