Hello, I have an old computer and I have floppy disk(s) fail, but the problem is that I have Windows 2000. Do you have a solution to get my computer running again like before?

Windows 9x, Me, 2K, XP or Vista, it doesn't change -- To err is human, to persist is diabolical.

According to the BIOS, it's  Sometimes Enabled/Disabled Sometimes Installed/Not Installed  -- To err is human, to persist (in error) is diabolical.

Good evening   I still checked the connections, in fact, I hadn't pushed the floppy disk reader's plug in all the way   yet I hadn't drunk anything at that moment, but anyway   I still thank everyone who responded to me

yvan974 · Answer

You're welcome, I didn't really do much but I hope the little conversation helped you (apparently it did). Well, my advice is if you don't drink, then don't start (lol)! yvan 974

At startup of the PC, a floppy disk fail 40 error is what?

yvan 974 · Answer

Hello, check if your floppy disk drive is properly connected. Otherwise, enter the BIOS and you'll see that your computer boots from something when it starts up (it's called first boot); if the first boot is set to floppy disk, change it to hard disk (HD) or the CD drive. Then restart to see if it works; it worked for me. Keep me posted anyway, please; I'd appreciate it. Have a great day! yvan974

trucnuche59 · Answer

It's fixed; it was a 4-pin connector that was unplugged, which I hadn't seen because it was hidden behind the ribbon cables.

yvan 974 · Answer

Hello again, it's cool if it works again. See you later and have a good evening (well, yeah, it's evening now at my place).yvan974

Cédric · Answer

It can also be due to the fact that the cable of the drive is connected the wrong way at the drive (not from the motherboard). Unplug it and plug the cable in the other way....

oz · Answer

Yes, thank you, it works well for me.

Hello, I followed the instructions for the BIOS and thank you
now I have another problem:
I was in the BIOS and I highlighted boot up floppy seek disable instead of enable
everything is working fine, I no longer have floppy disk fail 40 appearing but I can no longer enter the BIOS when I press delete. What should I do? Thank you for responding, I’m starting to despair.

Ndii · Answer

Uh hello, I had the same problem as some of you here with floppy disk files (40) but when I press

F1 it launches and asks me what my boot option is, I choose to start normally and then I see the

Windows logo with the loading bar below ... well, mine is stuck there and doesn't go any further ... Is my PC

"dead"? :s

Thanks for your help...

ama · Answer

hello

I have a mini PC tower that doesn't have a floppy disk drive but a DVD reader-writer.

I got the message floppy disk(s) fail (40). So I checked the connections of the CD drive. I don't know much about BIOS and I don't want to mess up my computer too much.

Thanks in advance

ama · Answer

thank you for the advice  the advantage of custom-built PCs is their price but for the configuration it’s true that it quickly becomes a mess

jmp59 · Answer

That's what you believe like most people who don't know much or anything at all
But as soon as you reach a certain level of skill, you realize that it's much more flexible and enjoyable than a brand-name PC.

Hey guys =)
Thanks for all the info! I learned something new and thanks to that, I was able to fix my dad's PC ^^
Indeed, assembling your own tower seems like a mountain, but in the end it's just Lego :p /love ^^ and it's really rewarding in the end :)

Have fun!

I had the same issue on my PC. But can we simply disable the floppy disk drive (that's the floppy disk drive) in the device manager?

Hello everyone :) (Thanks to all)

my solution is to my problem solved.

At PC startup I had the F1, floppy disk fail problem.
When starting the PC press DELETE, in the BIOS (advanced BIOS features)
find (boot Up Floppy Seek) set to disabled instead of Enabled F10 save
restart ;) good luck bye bye

Nathan · Answer

Hello,
I have the same problem "Floppy disk fail" (it doesn't bother me too much)
But also when I go to My Computer, the second CD drive is not detected while the first one is. And also when I insert a floppy disk into the drive, it tells me when I double-click on it, "insert a disk into drive A"
And that will be annoying because I need the floppy drive :s

Thank you in advance
I hope that the druid and jmp59 are still around ^^
