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.
