Diskette Drive 0 Seek Failure
I recently cleaned out the fans on my comp and then when i tried to turn it on i got the Diskette Drive 0 seek failure error message, and below it it says that it was unable to find the SATA Hard drive. I have checked the cables, hopefully someone can help.

Hi Outlaw12,
Do you have a floppy drive?
By the way, installing software did not cause this problem.

darylstrickland - your problem looks to be not the same.
I think you may need to start in safemode to discover the answer.
If you do get Windows started then you need to check your hard drive with diag software such as PCCheckup.

Hi Stephen,
If you replaced the motherboard battery, then as has been explained in this thread, you need to boot to the BIOS and turn the floppy diskette controller off.

What if I do have a floppy disk drive, but am still getting this error?

it helps to include the computer model and version of windows in a post.
If there's a FD installed and you receive that error message, try opening the open the tower, reseat the power cable and data cable of the floppy drive and motherboard, to see if it makes a difference.
No difference, replace the floppy drive.

Just changing boot order will not remove message. To fix:
