Yesterday a friend of mine next door gave me a Dell 8200 Dimension,But there was a problem that I couldn`t solve,It was this at computer start up -
Diskette Drive 0 Seek Failure,I tried everything I could in the Bio settings,I did these moves I read by people on my google research -Boot into the BIOS using [F2] Hold alt+f, alt+e, alt+b After the beeping stops [ALT] B
It forces the BIOS to reset and re-recognize the drives.and also some people are saying this -Dell systems work better on Cable select.Try setting it like that, with the master drive on the black connector, and the slave drive on the grey connector. It should work out like that. After you've done that, go into your BIOS, and light up the NumLock, CapsLock, and ScrollLock lights on your keyboard. Hold <Alt>+F, then hit <Alt>+E. After it stops beeping, hit <Alt>+B, and this will restart your system. That procedure sets your BIOS back to defaults, and it should force the system to redetect all of the IDE drives.Still nothing works,So anyone out there have pc brain then by all means then help me out here before I waste my money taking it to the shop.btw here are two pics of what my Dell looks like -
