GA-K8NF-9 - new BIOS

[narcotic]

I just downloaded and installed the latest version of BIOS (F4) for my mobo (GA-K8NF-9)
from the official site, flushed it using @BIOS, all went well... Anyway, they say at the site,
that I should load 'optimized settings' at BIOS when it loads for the first time - and stupid me did that, that was a big error, since now I had to deal with all the crap I had to go through when first configuring the mobo.
suppose that's over now (it's not I still have a couple of settings to change), anyway, when windows loaded I was amazed to find, that I have a floppy drive A!!!
I don't know how the hell this has happend, and I can't make it disapear...
Anyone encountered this issue before? And did any of you notice any performance gains? (maybe I should have asked it before flushing...)
btw, I also had a BSOD once since I flushed, but for now it didn't reoccur...
ideas/suggestions/stuff...?

Edit: obviously I don't actually have a physicall floppy drive...

Have you looked through all of the BIOs settings to disable everything related to the floppy drive controller and floppy drives in general?

What was the new BIOS supposed to do for you?

I don't know... it says they updated the cpu code or whatever... I see no difference so far, other than that annoyance with the floppy.

Solution: Get a floppy drive.

...and that would do me what good?

nowdays floppy is obsolete, no use for it other than grabbing dust....
