E310

O.k. here is the thing, I am having trouble getting my Dimension E310 to start up, when I push the power button it goes through the first steps of start-up but then it gets to this screen that says FLOPPY DISKETTE SEEK FAILURE STRIKE THE F1 KEY TO CONTINUE, F2 TO RUN SETUP UTILITY. When I hit the F1 key, nothing happens, I then re-start it, then click F12. (Boot Menu) and click on hard drive diagnostics. It runs the diagnostic and this comes back. Drive 0: WDC WD800JD-75MSA1 - Pass  Drive 1: No device Drive 2: Philips DVD +/- RW DVD8701 - Diagnostics not supported  Drive 3: No device.  Any suggestions, I have done everything I can think of but its not working. If someone could possibly help me that would be great.

    This is contradictory to your other post in the new users section which says it boots up to Windows but the USB Keyboard and Mouse does not work, on the PC that was given to you. 

     

    What is really wrong?

    According to the other post the keyboard and mouse do not work either in the boot or in Windows.  But now you are saying it does and it doesn't??  I don't mean to be a wise guy, just trying to get down to what is really happening.
