| Diskette Drive 0 Seek Failure???? Hey All, I am working on a Dell 2400 and I keep getting this error message "Diskette Drive 0 Seek Failure", during boot up i tried to get into bios and could not. It does not have a floppy drive. I took the drive out of the Dell and put it into one of my machines and i was able to get into BIOS. It seems this is pointing to something other than HD failure. Any other ideas for me to try? Thanks

| I recently had a problem similar to this on a machine in our office. I'd check the diagnostic LED's in the back and see if the mobo gives a code. Our machine did the same thing with the floppy drive seek and ended up needing a motherboard.

| I finally figured it out. I removed the battery and cleared cmos, this got me into the BIOS. What i found was that the setting for the Floppy was set to enabled the problem was it didn't have one. I changed to disabled or not installed and this fixed the issue.
