Gateway Boot Error

Posted in Hardware at 3:25 pm by Keith

We had a Gateway PC refuse to boot up this morning. Apparently it froze up and when the user tried to reboot they got the following: “Invalid boot diskette. Insert boot diskette in A.” There were no disks in the floppy or CD drives. I tried changing the boot order in the BIOS settings but that had no effect. Then we removed the cable select jumper from the hard drive and it booted up properly. No clue what happened…but removing the jumper seemed to take care of it.
