If by taking it out you are working OK then there is no damage, its just that your PC was looking in teh wrong place for the startup issue. It could mean that teh CMOS battery on teh motherboard is ready for replacement and its dropping back to default values which puts the floppy disk as teh first boot device. You may start noticing that the date/time becomes wrong. If it does then its definately teh battery that needs changing. its usually a CR2025 (~£2 from asda/tesco) and is dead easy to change
