disable floppy disk on Proliant DL380 G4 running Server 2003

[Kevin Crofts]

Hi,
I'd like to disable both the floppy disk and IDE drives on our Proliant to free up IRQs for other devices as in fact neither are connected.
I found the following reference on the Microsoft Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=275180
Do I need a BIOS upgrade from HP to fix this problem because despite telling the BIOS that the floppy disk is disabled it still appears in the Device Manager on IRQ6.
Thanks,
Kevin
