I get that message when i boot up :l
Can anyone give me some advice? I've read on other sites about it being caused by a floppy drive but my pc doesn't have one.
I've looked up in the set up (BIOS - i think) menu about the boot up sequence
it's set as, HDD, CD rom, removeable devices
but i still get the error. +rep to helpers
i have a similar message appear when i boot up and the voice says blah blah...failed to boot up floppy disk error then i have to press f1
coz it comes up saying the exact as it says for you about the failure but with floppy disk instead my advice is to remove the sed hardware and replace it
I don't think my hardware is naffed, i think there is something in the BIOD Setup that is dodgy. Luckily, the computer isn't even a year old, so if there is something dodgy with the hardware, it'll be covered.
hahahahhaah pwned marcus

lol danny. It can be fixed by reformatting but i don't want to do that.
It can also be caused by the CD drive.
Are there any CD's in the drive at present?
When you bootup the computer, run it in safemode. Then turn it off and run it normally.
You may try updating your system BIOS, if you have not done so already.
Hmm, I've gone through the BIOS, everything looks alright, It was set to run a floppy drive but I don't have one, so i switched it off. Now the computer loads, then just reboots and carries on doing that. I've tried using the repair thing but it doesn't work, so i've had to reformat the computer. :@
Did you trying running on safe mode then looking through?Quote:
