new settings were saved.
The battery is good:

If this does not correct the problem, call your HP Customer Support Center before

Flexible Disk and FDD Problems
Flexible Disk Problem
If the server cannot boot from, write to, or format a flexible diskette:
1. Review the items under the “Troubleshooting Checklist” section earlier in this chapter.
2. Make sure the diskette is not write-protected.
3. Check if server is trying to access the FDD. Look for an activity light on the FDD
indicator.
4. Try booting from a known good flexible disk.
5. Press
F8
and select
Boot from A drive
.
6. If there is a bootable CD in the CD-ROM drive, remove it.
By default, the CD-ROM drive is first in the boot order, so if there is a disc in the drive,
the server will not boot to a bootable flexible disk.
7. Use the BIOS Setup Utility to check if the mass storage configuration is correct.
FDD Problem
Make sure that the internal drive cables are securely attached and functional by
inspecting the cables and reseating the connections at both ends.
If the cables are securely attached, and the drive still does not work, replace the cable
with a known good cable.
