Diskette Drive 0 seek failure (error message)

Dell B110

Hello,
About 4 mos ago my computer began to display this message "Diskette drive 0 seek failure" on a black screen at startup. When this happens the computer may or may not startup. I was told by a computer shop that my hard drive needs to be replaced. Others have said it's my battery. Does anyone know what may be causing this and what I can do to fix it?

Thank you.
Configuration: Windows XP
Internet Explorer 6.0

I have Win XP installed. Once this message appears it may take up to 15 min for the computer to startup, sometimes may be quicker. I do not have a floppy drive so I'm confused as to what would cause this.

Hi this might happen becaue of Faulty or improperly installed diskette, loose diskette/CD interface cable, or loose power cable.Replace the diskette. Ensure that the diskette/CD-drive subsystem is properly installed. If the problem persists, replace the diskette/CD-drive subsystem. try checking it might help

I went into F2 mode but didn't have a "load default" option. I looked down the list for "integral" and didn't see it, nor did I see an option for FDC or FDS. Can you tell me what I might be missing here? I appreciate your help!
