How to repair the failure to seek the Floppy disk on my optiplex gx280

I get the failure to seek a Floppy diskette.  How can I fix this on my Optiplex GX280 with Vista

You actually have a floppy drive in your computer?  The solution will depend on the answer to this question.  If you do then it is defective and must be replaced, otherwise you will need to disable the floppy drive in the BIOS configuration.

  • 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

    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.

    If the problem persists, I suggest you to contact the Dell Support for additional assistance.

    Hello

    As mentioned in the description of the add-on, this add-on can only be disabled / removed when Firefox is safe.

    Use the following steps:

    1. Closing of Firefox
    2. Hold down the SHIFT key and open Firefox
    3. When the "Firefox Safe Mode" window choose 'Boot mode safe' - NOT 'reset Firefox. "
    4. Click on "Firefox" button and choose "Modules". Remove it.
    5. Close Firefox, and then open it again to the top (this is getting out of safe mode)

    The add-on should be gone and you can use Private Browsing Mode even once.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to get the recovery disks?

    I have install disks for this program and I have no idea where to get them

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

  • How to use the recovery disks that I created?

    Original discs of title: recovery

    The computer store fixed my virus but when I come back most of my programs computer had disappeared. I did (as recommended) recovery disks when I came to the computer. How can I re - install what is on the recovery discs?

    Hi B.Frizzen,
     
    You can use the recovery disc for re - install or repair the operating system. It will not contain the programs you use on the computer.
     
    If you have a backup of the programs you use, then you can restore the same thing now, unfortunately you may need to download and reinstall the applications again.

    Hello world

    I was wondering how to use the 2 recovery discs that I burned recently if I wanted to fix my USB ports (as seen in my Toshiba M300 - wire to USB ports)

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    You can use the only recovery disk to reinstall the whole OS!
    This means that the use of the recovery disk will format the whole HARD drive and will set the laptop back to factory settings!

    If you want to use the recovery disk and then insert it into the ODD and the start-up of this disc.
    Then the installation of the OS should move forward and you should follow the instructions on the screen.

  • Satellite Pro A300: How to create the recovery disk

    Hello
    I just bought a Satellite Pro A300 with Windows XP.
    I want to know how I can or if I need to create a recovery disk that will reset the machine to its original state.
    The information gives instuctions on how to proceed for the Vista machines, but not for XP.

    I know that I can recover from the hidden partition, but where this is not possible, I wish I could get CD or DVD.
    There is a recovery CD included product that says only: "MS Windows XP" so I guess that it does not include drivers or Toshiba Software?

    I m not very good if you want to be able to order the recovery for this unit disc, because in very rare cases, the recovery disc may be pronounced if the laptop model is too old.

    So I hope that you can order it here:
