When i start up the pc it's asking me a diskete..???
For what it's asking me a diskete, i didn't do nothing to him, what should i do???
helpppp please i do not know what to do..
🙁
 
Force a restart. If the same happens you can explaine what "asking me a diskete" means.
 
Asking for A diskette is likely a flashing icon of a disk.

This means at the very least the boot blocks are damaged.

If you have a system disk put it in the cd rom drive and run disk tools on the hd. If you cant see the hd at all its probably dead.
 
How i can force a restart?????
"asking me a diskete" means i can do nothing, it's do not alows me to do something.
The monitor it's gray and in the midlle of the monitor it is a diskete that is has the asking questions on the diskete.
i have masurating the battery and she is empty...it's mathers if the battry is empty????? should it put another good battery???
it's the battery the cause?????
 
diskette is likely a flashing icon of a disk something like this is the diskette on the monitor.
"This means at the very least the boot blocks are damaged."--- no no no no, i have take out the hdd and it's the same...thing,it's dosen't move nothing

It seems that you got a sick HD. Double check and see if it has any orange spots. If it does then its probably a bacteria eating the HD. Joking! 😀

Now seriously, follow this link from apple and it shall help you 🙂
 
I have heard of dead PRAM batteries causing these kinds of problems, so if you can get a new one easily it's worth a try. Before that, try holding down these 4 keys while you restart--control option P R. After you hear the startup chime 4 times let them go. See if your computer will boot. If that doesn't work and if the battery doesn't work, then your hard drive has a problem--which isn't surprising on a 10 year old computer.

At least you don't hear the sound of a car crashing when you start the computer. That's worse than a flashing folder.
 
Thanks for the what you said, but you must understand that i have take out the hdd from the calculator and it's asking me for a diskete. I wil try today with a battery.I will thank to god,to you and all if it's go to work.
Please can same one can tell me where is the restart buton???
I need very much this computer to work.I need his interface to conect him with a RIP for printing a film.It's hard to make you understand, but i need his interface.
Please give more ideas, i will try all. 🙁

I think we should delete this thread.

jonyyybe is playing with himself in public, and he's probably been told about doing that many times.

He's either having a laugh or he's somebody who doesn't speak very good English and needs help. How do you know which it is?
