I was installing the driver of my Graphics Card.But the Power was interrupted in the course of the driver installation.Then I had restarted the system and saw the first time this message at the bottom with black screen.

A: Drive Error
Press F1 to Resume


Then I have formatted my system.
And re-installed everything again.
System is working fine.
But the error message is continue to appear on start up.
Kindly let me know that,how to get rid of this message.

Thanks to all.

Hi

It looks as if the cmos settings have been corrupted
Do you have floppy disk drive A: ?

If not check in bios
is floppy controller enabled ?
it should be disabled if not connected or does not exist

It should not be in boot device list once disabled & PC rebooted
It should not be higher up the list than CD & Hard disk in boot device order
(by default it will be first boot device)

This is a PC BIOS message NOT a Windows Error Message so re installing Windows was not necessary

Dear Mike Barnes,

Mercy and Blessings of Almighty God be upon of you and your entire family.
It works.
Really,I don't have words to appreciate your deep knowledge and kind attitude.
Thanks a lot bro.

But now;at the time of booting, first black screen appears with a cursor on the top left hand.
Cursor drops twice and reach to the third line.
Then Windows starts.
Is it possible to remove it too?

Thanks a lot.
 
Hi

Most bios have option to show post details
(Power on self test)
Or a logo such as Intel. AMD Gigabyte etc
Yours does neither
There is often an option to display message
del. or F2. To enter bios.
F12. For boot menu
But there are many different versions so I can not give precise details
