computer won't boot initially


Question Posted Tuesday June 15 2010, 7:36 am

Keep getting "1780 - Disk0Failure or disk error" and "Non-system or disk error replace and strike any key."

Also 1790 - Disk 0 Error

Does this refer to the floppy drive? Will I be able to boot up if I disconnect the floppy drive?

I have to boot almost a dozen times using F1, F2, Alt Ctrl Delete and turning the computer off and on (Old Compaq Pentium 200) before desktop appears and connecting to ISP.
