Floppy diskette seek failure

You need to press f2 then go to Standard CMOS Features, then highlight drive A. Change it to none. You should not have anything in there enless you have floppy drive

The floppy disk or drive is damaged, or if your trying to boot your computer and you have a floppy in the drive that is not bootable. It will try and boot from floppy first then cd then hard drive usually but floppy's are stupid and only return an error and then stops. Remove the floppy disk and boot

how to solution. Dell optiplex 745 Floppy Diskette Seek Failure

Hi. You computer seems to be booting up using the floppy disk and your floppy disk drive might not be connected properly, not working or not even there. Press F2 to run the setup utility and disable the floppy seek in the bios. It will most likely be in the "Advanced CMOS setup" area, or the 2nd screen depending on your bios. look for "Seek floppy drive at boot?" or, "Disable floppy seek at boot?" or something like that. When you find it, make sure it's not enabled for the seek. Save the change on exiting. :-)

Below is a list of possible causes.

Faulty or improperly inserted diskette, incorrect configuration settings in System Setup program(You might be set to boot from the floppy drive. You want to be set to boot from the hard drive), loose diskette/tape drive interface cable, or loose power cable.

If possible please rate this solution.

Press F2 look through the menus and remove / disable 3.5 floppy drives.

Hello there:
This is a setting in the bios , so what you are going to have to do
is boot into bios and under the boot section and check to see if the floppy drive is a option that is part of the boot sequense if it is change it so that is not part of the boot sequense than go under the periphial section and check to see if it is showing up there as a removable device if so change it or disable it all together since you do not have a floppy drive ok
and this should take care of he problem
I hope that this is very helpful for you
Best regards Michael

Make sure it is not disabled in the boot order, there is also an option for the drive itself (Diskette Drive) that must be disabled

try to go to bios set up..then change the boot order..in the boot tab,,change the "first boot" label with hard disk..then it wont seek for floppy again..

F2 Scroll down to "Drives" and open the menu. choose "Diskette Drive" and turn it "Off".
