even once you take out the floppy ? try taking out the floppy booting into the bios and adjusting the boot order in there.

Go into the BIOS, it usually accessed by pressing Delete, Escape, or F2 when the computer first boots up. If you see a blue screen with white writing, you're in the BIOS.

When in the BIOS, look for a Boot tab and select boot from HD.

Try a different keyboard, if the one you are using doesn't work in BIOS.

try reseting the bios

1. On the motherboard there is a small watch battery. Remove this battery along with the power cable from the power supply. Hold down the power button to fully discharge the system. Wait 2-3 minutes then reinstall the battery and plug in your system. Your reset is now complete

2. Some motherboards have a 3 pin jumper by the battery. Lets say that the jumper is on pins 2 and 3. Remove the jumper while the machine is OFF and place onto pins 1 and 2. Power on your machine for a minute. (Note: Your system will not POST). Shutdown your machine and put the jumper back to pins 2 and 3. Your reset is now complete
