Title: dell dimension desktop diskette error
Post by: shashgo on August 29, 2009, 04:26:43 PM

whenever I boot my computer I get this error right off
"Floppy diskette seek failure.
Alert! Incompatibtle processor detected
 Strike the F1 key to continue, or F2 to run setup'

How do I stop this from happening?  I went into setup and disabled the floppy disk drive as a bootable o ption but I still get the error
