      Floppy disk fail (40),

      Have read ....... that error usually refers to the floppy drive, not the hd.

      Have you tried the HD on another machine as a slave to see if its ok ?

          sharif ........ Is the error message refers to .......... (40) or (80) ...... this usually refers to a floppy issue.
          http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000426.htm

          If the error message refers to .... (10), (20) or (80) ..... this usually refers to a Hard Drive issue........

          So then the error specifically refers to the hard drive ...is that correct ?

                Hello friends,
                the whole problem was the power supply, i have another power supply installed, the data cables installed in a proper way and adjusted the Bois the result was good. Thanks to everyone here.
