échec du disque flexible (40)

Hi,

You might have a problem with your floppy disk drive... Try unplugging it to give it a try.

Hallelujah, it works. Thank you, the druid.

Hi, I have the same problem but my speaker is already unplugged, it's annoying me.

Hi Yvan,
you need to set your HDD in place of the floppy as the first boot in the BIOS

Have a nice day

Hi "snake" solidus,
apparently it worked really well, I even have the impression that my PC is running faster than before.
Thank you very much!

You're welcome, I'm here for that

Have a nice day

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

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)!

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

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!

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.

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).

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....

Yes, thank you, it works well for me.
