Answer 2

You would have to go into your computer and disable the floppy drive.  There will be a setting (or more than one) where you can tell the computer that there isn't a floppy drive any more.

Typically, where you see the type of Floppy referenced.. like a 1.44mb drive, you can change that setting to NONE.
