I am getting 2 error messages when i went to boot last night:

"Floppy Controller Failure"
"CPU Over Voltage Error"

This all happened when i went to install a 3.5" floppy drive onto my rig last night. i plugged everything in and when i rebooted i recieved these errors. Now everyime i reboot, i have to press F1 to get past the errors. The only OS's i have installed are Linux 64-bit and Windows 64-bit on one HDD(VIA Raid Controller). The other HDD's are freshly formatted for a clean install of windows xp home or pro(Promise Raid Controller). My problem now is the error messages and i can't install xp home because my 3.5" drive will not power on to install the third party scsi(For the Promise Controller) . Catch 22 huh? Is there a way to install XP home/Pro without using a floppy disk? I just want to install a 32-bit OS so i can update my bios. For some reason i think the bios became corrupted. Also, My volts and my temps are at 0 in the bios, for some reason they are not reporting correct numbers.

I Cleared Cmos, unpluged power for a few minites, but i still get error messages. I check the bios and the 3.5" drive is enabled.

My Bios is version 1008. Any Ideas? Do you think the power supply is shot? It's a 430true watt antec.
