Yeah you guys are right, I'll be keeping it as a spare. Thank You.

I'm looking to buy a new pc and I know what I want to get and I'm looking to offload my current pc. I was looking to find out how much my pc would be worth if I was to sell it today? The model of my pc is a Dell Inspiron 530 and my specifications are as follows. Thank You.

I done this but it hasn't solved the problem, a message did come up saying that the CMOS was reset and that the defaults were loaded but when I restarted my computer the same message arose.

Haha it's okay. No nothing comes up when I press the enter key. No I don't have a floppy drive, just two DVD drives.

No, it won't let me use the mouse at all and when I do right click nothing happens.

I done as you instructed but this message still pops up. Here are images of the BIOS screen and what I did. You mentioned something about a Floppy Drive, I found it under the Removable Device Priority however there was nothing else with it in the sequence.[ATTACH=CONFIG]966.vB5-legacyid=1864[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]967.vB5-legacyid=1865[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]968.vB5-legacyid=1866[/ATTACH]

Every time I turn my computer on a message pops up saying "Diskette drive 0 seek failure Press F1 to continue, F2 to enter SETUP" Does anyone know how to fix this issue so that this message doesn't pop up every time? Thank you.

Okay so I've disabled the floppy disk and the floppy disk drive but the problem still persists. Should I uninstall them completely now?

Well I've looked around and I'm looking to get the graphics card recommended by KenB and also I found a PSU with the right amount of connectors. But the graphics card recommends 500W but above you mentioned that it's okay for me to use a 400W PSU. Graphics Card 400W ATX PSU So will I have to get a 500W PSU instead?

I am using Windows vista home premium and no I don't have a floppy disk. But there is no heading there called device manager. I will have a look now.

Yes it did thank very much you cleared up a lot. Tomorrow morning I will be going out to buy a PSU and graphics card and I will let you know how it goes. Thanks for the help everyone :) Looks like you do learn something new everyday :D

Thank you I will let you know how it goes once I upgrade my PSU and buy a graphics card :) Maybe I should start a new thread under PSU? I have looked around and I can't seem to find a PSU with 400W or 450W with 3 sata cables. I'm guessing that it's sata cables as you can see from the first picture below. I also need it to have a 24 pin cables into the motherboard and a four pin (Picture 2). As you can see below in pictures 3 and 4 this is where my cables are pluged into. The third picture shows the wires plugged into the two optical drives with a connected cable in between. Also I found out that most of the PSU's in the area of watts that I need have the fan on the side so I was wondering if the air flow will be sufficient enough in my pc (Picture 5).

[ATTACH=CONFIG]1330[/ATTACH] My BIOS looks like this and I went through each heading but I can't seem to find a place to disable the floppy seek.

I presume you mean under boot priority? Well I went there but there was no floppy disk selected at all. So will I have to change the cmos?

Every time i boot my pc the dell screen comes up then after that a message pops up saying 'Diskette drive 0 seek failure' and lower down it said 'Press F1 to continue, Press F2 to start setup' I can't remember if the second one was F2 or not. I always have to press F1 to continue although the pc runs completely normal after pressing F1 it's just nuisance having to press it every time I boot the pc. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you.
