Dell/Inspiron 530. My computer is old, I am older. Diskette would be correct.

Thank you,

Thank you,

When the error occurs
In BIOS setup (F2), look for the Diskette Drive option and set that to OFF. Be sure to save the change before exiting BIOS setup.

If the change doesn't 'stick', it's possible the motherboard battery died and needs to be replaced.
