A connector may be loose or

the diskette may be faulty.

If the diskette-drive access indicator lights up when

you access a file on the diskette, but you still get

this error message, try a different diskette. If the

message reappears, shut down the computer,

remove the drive from the external media bay, and

then reinsert it. Turn the computer back on, and

check for the error message. If the problem per-

sists, run the IDE Devices test in the Dell Diagnos-

tics. For instructions, see “Running the Dell

Diagnostics” in Chapter 3. If the problem persists,

call Dell for technical assistance. For instructions,

see Chapter 5, “Getting Help.”
