• Diskette drive 0 seek failure screen black/continue F1, F2 Setup, CORRECTION steps

  Have followed the instructions for the BIOS, floppy drive disabled

  Has not solved the question-are there - it something else?

  That's what I discovered, trying to follow the instructions of several positions of countless times and several Tech IT these past two weeks.  This FIX is actually three steps; Two steps in blue SCREEN, the second of two parts missing in the instructions in the previous post Forum fixes:

  STEP 1. Select "F2" on your SCREEN black Error Message 'diskette drive 0 seek failure;

       Missing the 2nd step indicating where 'Floppy' must be DISABLED... is actually in two places.

  STEP 2.  Arrow down and SELCET «CMOS...» "near the top of the list - (the keyboard is not active) and on the next screen, arrow down and SELECT -" Floppy Drive-1, 44 is activated "MUST be EXCHANGE FOR: 'DISABLED' (the readers of floppy-1, 44 are obsolete) another menu screen will pop up, to make your selection, the arrow down to select"OFF"and the ECONOMY-F10.

  STEP 3  Submenu will return to the MAIN - BLUE SCREEN Menu, you need to arrow down and select BIOS; as stated in previous POSTS and need RESET BIOS to: #1 HD, CD/DVD #2; #3 unable to READ floppies; then select F10 to run, return to the main Menu of previous blue screen; "F10,"saves and exits" you in the main Menu of Blue SCREEN" toCOMPLETE FIX... Windows Start Up, immediately, translates the computer starts normally and returns to theWindows Logo and connection status. 

  • (See this correction, corrected an error in the boot order in the BIOS since the 'HD' has been 'DISABLED', floppy drive was 2nd "Enabled" and CD/DVD has been 1st disk "Enabled"; and CMOS had "activated" "Floppy drive-1, 44" that has generated this ERROR BLACK SCREEN and interrupt thenormal Windows process at startup computer n and connection. "")

• Diskette drive 0 seek failure

  Windows XP Pro is installed. Its a Dell Dimension 8400 series. Question is diskette drive 0 seek failure is. The disk has been disabled. Now stuck in a loop, to select one of the options to start... Windows starts normally, safe mode, last known good configuration, etc.

  What other options do I have? THX

  Hi rubenrjr77,

  1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
  2. You are able to access all the boot options?

  This would normally occur due to faulty or badly inserted diskette, incorrect settings in the system of entry/sortient system (BIOS), the diskette/tape drive interface cable, or lose the power cable.

  I suggest that you check in the system basic input/output system (BIOS), if all the settings are correct, for more information you can contact the manufacturer of the computer.

  Important: Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

• On startup, I get the message following diskette drive 0 seek failure 1 not found drive Serial ATA, SATA 2 strike F-1 key to continue, F2 to run the utility series

  At the start of the black screen appears and tells Diskeyye drive 0 seek failure 1 drive not found: Serial ATA, SATA2 strike F1 key to continue, F2 to run the Setup utility, how can I keep this lift every time?

  Hi FRANKDURHAM,

  1. are you able to boot into Windows after the error message?

  2. did you of recent changes on the computer?

  3 when was the last time it was working fine?

  Usually, this would happen if the hard drive is not set correctly in the basic input/output system (BIOS) or the settings in the basic input/output system (BIOS) are incorrect.

  Basic input/output system (BIOS) is a program built into personal computers that starts the operating system when you turn on your computer. It is also referred to as system firmware. Basic input/output system (BIOS) is part of the hardware of your computer and is separate from Windows.

  Microsoft cannot provide specific instructions for changing your CMOS and BIOS settings because they are specific to your computer. For more information about the correct CMOS and BIOS settings for your computer and how to check and change these settings, see your computer documentation or contact the manufacturer of your computer.

  Hi Bartamus premium,
   
  The error tells you that your "floppy" disk is not seen at the start.
   
  I guess that most of you do not have a floppy drive. Thus, you must restart the system and boot in the BIOS Setup screen. Disable the boot disk and make sure your hard disk is properly perceived. This majority happen usually when the battery on the motherboard is removed or died. Or when a reset has been made in the BIOS configuration screen.

  Hello

  This error is the following:

  'diskette drive 0 seek failure '.

  It's to do with a floppy drive:

  Read this; it applies not only to Dell machines:

  "Hello everyone,

  And this post here, too:

  "Just add to what Darrell has notified;  If you do not have a floppy drive in the system, go into the BIOS and make sure that the boot order is set to check your first optical drive (i.e. D:\), disk hard drive (usually C:\) next and finally the floppy drive (A:\).

  So it doesn't matter if you don't have in fact a floppy drive installed, because the system will never be able to check for one after booting from a bootable CD/DVD or hard drive"

• How to fix the floppy diskette seek failure at startup

  I have a Dell E520 desktop running windows 7 which has a "floppy" seek failure when I boot. My computer has 1 internal hard drive, a CD-ROM drive and a floppy drive. The problem started after I restored to the conditions of the factory settings in the BIOS Setup.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  ·         You use the floppy drive?

  Method 1: Disable the floppy drive

  Disable the floppy drive by going to the configuration of the training (don't know exactly how it's called, because it differs from the models) and selecting the floppy drive. You will then see an option to disable the floppy drive (floppy drive).

  (a) press F2 to enter the BIOS

  (b) of the devices to boot or Boot Device Priority

  (c) or set the floppy drive on disabled

  Method 2: Change the boot order so that the hard drive is listed everything first or otherwise prior to the floppy drive.

  The boot order should be as follows.

  First priority - hard drive

  Second priority - CD ROM drive

  Last priority - floppy drive

• How to solve the problem up the msg "floppy seek failure" at the start and have to press F1 to continue?

  I get the message: "diskette seek failure" on start-up and must by pressing F1 to continue.

  I took actions

  1. I replaced my dvd/cd drive since was noisy and not reading. (I thought I had a HW problem with the drive because it was a bit noisy etc - maybe not the problem because I always get the message)

  2.i press F2 and changed my BIOS so that my hard drive and CD/DVD are the only elements used in the start menu to the top and deleted the other ports using record to remove from the boot sequence.

  3. using the Device Manager I have disabled the floppy drive A and uninstalled the SW, but whenever I restart Windows it says that it detects new HW and re - install the floppy drive on A.  I don't have a floppy drive on my computer!   I don't think that I had a drive on my control panel before this problem.

  Talked to Dell but my warranty is void

• Satellite M30 - after replacing drive DVD 0203: failure IDE #2 appears

  Hello

  I replaced the DVD unit on my Satellite M30 as it was broken. I installed the same unit (UJ - 820B), but now at startup, I get the error message 0203:Failure IDE #2 with options to continue starting in the operating system or run the Setup program (which does not offer something to solve this problem). The operating system (Windows XP sp2) loads fine, but the DVD unit is not recognized.

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Hi Paul,.

  All optical discs are delivered with a parameter of the base (master, slave, or C/salt) interface configured in the firmware. on PC, readers there are usually small switches to activate this setting to change, but unfortunately on readers portable there is not, so it is very important to make sure the new drive is correctly implemented by the manufacturer of the correct specification for your laptop.

  If you got the new drive to an ASP then you will need to confirm with them that the new drive is set correctly.

  From my experience, most third-party resellers don't advertise what settings their readers that makes get a suitable replacement that is very difficult.

  Kind regards
