Hello,

Try this 1

It might be due to one of your device in your PC is having problem in 

getting detected during the POST. When you switch ON your laptop, click 

on the "Tab" key. You can see the POST screen. Find the device which is 

taking much time in getting detected.

Also make sure that that first boot device is set to your "Hard Drive" in your

BIOS settings.

Good Luck

After getting to post screen I am told to run setup utility for a "floppy diskette seek error" and unset time. After hitting f2 to run the utility the response is I cannot use video mode 107.

Well, thanks for the help my PC is useable now.

As a sidenote the floppy disk error is something different right? As I have had through my pc's lifespan
