A: Drive Error
Last response: in Windows XP
Hi all,
I'm currently getting a message at boot up which reads A: Drive Error and an option to enter F1 to enter BIOS or F2 to continue. F2 continues it fine but it's a bit annoying turning the machine on and having to wait until it beeps.
Does anyone know how to get rid of it?
The Spec:
Lenovo M57e 9487 Dual Core pc
Small form factor
Pentium Dual E2140 @ 1.60 GHz
2Gb RAM (upgradeable to 4Gb)
160GB SATA drive
Intergrated graphics.
XP pro SP3
Motherboard: Lenovo are a bit unclear, Everest can't read it and I can't see it!
Power supply Delta Electronics DBS 280G Max Output 280W

Thanks Ktownmike.
I tried that but I'm still getting the error.
Well, I say that I tried. The priorities didn't have letters but the floppy drive was first. Floppy used to be A: I think, and there isn't a floppy installed so I guessed that was the problem and moved it too the bottom. But I still get the error. I've now got CD followed by hard drive.
