Sounds like you need to go into set-up and define HDD. Does not auto-detect.

i believe someone has left a floppy disk in the drive. eject it and reboot.

That would give "ABORT, RETRY, FAIL" message.

Can you manually enter CMOS information in Setup and boot from there?

DEK 265LT displays CMOC is BAD: Restoring from EEPROM.... EEPROM is BAD: No Restore was made. You MUST run SETUP followed by LOCKMOS... FAILED Any help appreciated.

I have been able to manually enter CMOS info in SETUP thanks to suggestions from this forum and get past the CMOS and EEPROM failures. Now stuck "diskette error". Any key will produce the same message. Thanks.

I removed the ribbon cable from the FDD and edited the setting in SETUP to "NOT Installed";. Came back with 'Diskette drive failure on drive A'. on reboot. Still shows "Diskette error" on last line. Possible HDD issue? Thanks.
