Your MB has a floppy disk header and the BIOS detects that floppy disk connector. So, just because you have not installed a 'floppy disk drive' to your system, the capability is still present and can not be removed.

Go into your bios in find the floppy disk type option and set to none/disabled. That should sort it.
