    Diskette drive 0 seek failure
    I have dimension 3000 desktop and last night I completely powered down the system(with no errors) but when I went to power it back it back on about an hour later, instead of seeing the traditional loading procedure, I saw the dell logo come up and following it was a message saying “diskette drive 0 seek failure”. This message keeps coming up every time I try to power up my computer and I can not go into the bios menu of safe mode even when I press F2 or F12 when the dell logo shows up. I have feeling that the hard drive failed but I want to be sure, and I already opened the case and checked if all the wires are plugged in nicely. Some side notes are, my warranty expired, and I did not install any new software or hardware in the last month. So any help would be appreciated, and if you know the cause that would help also since I don’t want a repeat of this.
    Another quick thing I want to mention that might be related to this is I installed a FX5200 PCI video card last month to the system and I have not upgraded the original power supply yet.
    Thank you in advance, Jay
