Please Help...

I recently built my own system and she works perfectly with the exception of one thing. On startup, there is an entire system-check-type-thing and at the end it says:

Floppy Disks Fail (40)

After that, I press F1 and it continues on it's merry little way. I'm pretty sure that it means that there is some sort of problem with the floppy drive, but that's the thing, I don't have a floppy drive, so i really don't have a clue as to what is wrong... I've asked a few people about this but they can't seem to get it either.

Disable it in the BIOS.
Normally you can find the floppy disk entry in the "Standard CMOS Feature" (should be the first screen/option in your BIOS).
If you see something such as "Drive A" and it is set to "1.44, 3.5in" just move over that option put it to Disabled.
