desktop xps 435mt doesn't boot

last night, when I reboot from linux, I got the following message

diskette read failure

no boot device available

sata1 installed

sata2 installed

I tried F12 for diagnostics, the hard drive passes DST short test. But I got stunk there. Any solution?

    Hi Kaijun,

    You may need a new drive, but you should run the diagnostics from the Dell drivers disc, not the F12 partition.
