= Dealing with the "Absent Floppy Disk" Error
2018-01-20 17:59:12 +00:00
It has been reported by some users that *GRUB2* may fail to install on a partition's boot sector if the computer's floppy controller is activated in BIOS without an actual floppy disk drive being present. Such situations resulted in an _Absent Floppy Disk_ error.
2018-01-20 17:59:12 +00:00
To workaround this issue, go into the rescue mode and follow the procedure in link:#installing-grub-2-on-a-bios-system[Installing GRUB2 on a BIOS system] *GRUB2*, but use the `--no-floppy` option with the `grub2-install` command.
