Why I have this message? Error: the floppy drive seek failure

Original title: why I have this message?

floppy drive seek failure. I don't have a floppy drive on my cumputer.

Hello

This problem occurs if the following two conditions are met:

The computer has no floppy drive.
1. the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS settings.
2. for example, this problem may occur if the floppy drive is enabled in the BIOS settings by default.

To resolve this issue, use the system setup program to disable the floppy drive in the computer BIOS. You can contact the manufacturer of your computer to help make these changes.

Warning of the BIOS:
BIOS change / semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide 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.

I hope this helps.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • 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.

  • "floppy drive seek failure".

    When I turn on the computer, the black and white screen comes up with the sentence that precedes and gives me a choice of F1 or F2.

    I want to solve this problem, but don't know how?  Anyone know?

    Hi Cfulton,

    Did you the latest changes on the system?

    If you do not use a computer floppy drive, then you can disable the floppy drive weight in the BIOS.

    If you use the floppy drive, then you can reset the BIOS settings and check if it helps.

    2 - what you want to say that you receive this error message during the installation of Windows XP?

    Check to see if the following is useful.

    Method 1: Disconnect all devices non-essential connected to the computer and restart. Check to see if it boots normally.

    Method 2: You may need to check the settings of the BIOS (Basic Input\Output System). Check if the hard drive is detected. If this is not the case, check the physical connections. Refer to the manual to check the same.

    Since this is a secondary drive chkdsk/r can be run without having to reboot.   Close all the programs that can access training and and when you run chkdsk say yes to "remove this volume first...". ».  This will cause no harm.  Although not strictly necessary, I recommend you to reboot once completed the disk check.   This will solve any problem related to the file handles.
    If chkdsk/r reports bad sectors, you should replace the disk.
