Solve : Drive A error. System Halt?

Answer»

Hi. My father very recently bult himself a new computer and asked me to help him get it running, but when i turn it on i get the following lines
"Bios Rom Checksum Error
Detecting floppy drive A media....
Drive A error. System halt."

Any ideas as to how i might go about FIXING this would be much APPRECIATED. ThanksCode: [SELECT]@echo off
echo unplug the floppy dive and see if the error message goes away
echo - maybe the cable has been put in 180 degrees the wrong way.Seems to be lots of information on the web about this with a SIMPLE google search.
If you can get into the BIOS make sure the floppy is not the 1st boot device. It shouldn't make a difference if there is no disk in there but maybe things have CHANGED over the years.

Other posts say this is a memory issue or memory timing issue. The bios is losing its settings which could be a battery issue. The list goes on and on.
