(In a sarcastic tone)Haha real funny guys.
Are drive parameters detected on computer startup, or were they set by user? Did you try to enter the BIOS setup and re-detect disks?When the boot screen came up it said that there is a disk drive running out of its parameters.
I think it's rather located in an empty 3.5" floppy drive slot, but connected with matching (40 or 80-wire) cable. :shrug:I'm trying to understand something, Did you plug the hard drive into the floppy disk cable or something?

If you disconnected floppy drive, you need to switch it off in BIOS setup utility too.It says that there is a diskette drive 0 seek failure.
You can normally clear the bios in one of three ways, some of which may work for your PC, some may not:You might be able to clear the bios by taking out the button battery. And checking to see if there is a jumper you have to "tap" to kill the cmos data.
