Hi all! My problem is that when I turn on my Dell 8200, sorry I don't know all the specs, it goes to a black screen after loading. The screen reads as follows:
Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS Version 1.10 A02
Copyright 1985-1988 Phoenix Technologies Ltd.
Copyright 1990-2004 Dell Inc.

Dell System Dimention 8400 Series
BIOS version A02

Diskette Drive 0 Seek Failure
Strike f1 key to continue, f2 to run setup utility.

I have tried setting my bios to:
1. Onboard or usb cd-rom drive
2. onboard sata hard drive
onboard or usb floppy drive (not present)
onboard ide hard drive (not present)

But still nothing has gotten past the black screen. Also if i hit f1 to continue it brings me to the screen saying Start windows normally, safemode, last good config....blah,blah,blah. but i have tried all of them and it brings me to the stop code 0x0000007B (0xfb852524,0xc00000034, 0x00000000, 0x00000000).
PLEASE HELP!

I guess I will take a back seat and wait for someone to give the best answer to your Yahoo post.
