Hi lyssamarie164
Welcome to the Community
Any changes did you make on your PC before this happened ?
Error none Diskette drive 0 seek failure : This means a cable may be loose, or the computer configuration information may not match the hardware configuration. Check the external cable connections for once .
Also was your system running slow before this ? Have you connected any external devices before which are still connected ? Example : I pod , Printer , Cell phone .
You may try this ,
Turn on your system by pressing the Power Button . As and when you see the Dell Logo , tap the F2 key repeatedly when you first see the lights on your keyboard flashing .
Now , you should see a screen which says "Phoenix Award CMOS Setup Utility ".
Here at this screen tap the F9 key loads your computer to it's default basic hardware settings .
Then press F10 to save the changes & then reboot your computer .
Lets us know about the outcome
Glad to help !
Thank you
