Remove disks or other media vista

My son had a jump drive thumb drive in his USB, desktop, and it frroze on him. He then hard powered it down and when he tried to reboot he gets this error. I have gone into the bios and check things out and nothing has changed, There is nothing in any of his drives, the jumpers are correct on both his hard drives and still get this message.
