This message at the end of the PC test says possible error in connecting the loop. A continuously lit indicator also indicates an incorrect connection. The error may also be due to a mismatch of the type of floppy drive installed in " BIOS Setup".

CPU External Cache
- (external processor cache). This option enables/disables the use of the processor's external cache (second-level cache, or "L2"). You should only disable any type of cache memory

CPU Internal Cache
- (internal processor cache). This option enables/disables the use of the processor's internal cache (first-level cache, or "L1"). It is worth recalling that the internal cache has become

Internal Cache WB or WT

The parameter can take the following values: "Rotating", "Fixed".

An option with exactly the same name was found with the parameters: “Favor CPU” and “

After the above, the content of this option may no longer seem strange. The user must establish, in essence, the rank of the central processor in the hierarchy of all possible "master"

An error appeared when turning on the computer: Floppy disk(s) Fail (40). This error occurs due to incorrect operation of the Floppy disk (disk drive), or due to settings in the BIOS.
Many people don't even know what a Floppy disk is. Because this “mammoth” is already becoming a thing of the past. It was replaced by flash drives. So that you can understand what we are talking about here, look at the image below.

Picture 1. Floppy disk 3.5

If you still have the device shown in Figure 2 installed in your system unit, then pay attention to its indicator. If it glows constantly, then try turning the cable over to the other side.

Figure 2. Drive.

Well, if you don’t have Floppy, then when you reboot, go into the BIOS by pressing the key [DEL] or [DELETE](this key is designated differently on keyboards), we find the entry: Floppy Drive A, it contains the value “3’5” 1.44Mb. This value should be changed to None. Then we look for the item Advanced Bios Features and in it under the point Check Floppy Drive on Boot change the value to Disable.

That's it, now press the F10 key on the keyboard, a window will appear in which we press the key [Y] and click [ENTER].

That's it, now press the F10 key on the keyboard, a window will appear in which we press the key [Y] and click [ENTER].

This error occurs, as a rule, on old computers on which a floppy drive was once used and still installed. For those who don’t know, a floppy drive is a device into which magnetic floppy disks are inserted.

What does floppy disk fail 40 mean?

If this error is displayed when you turn on the computer at the BIOS boot stage, it means that there is a problem with the floppy drive. This could be a broken power cable or interface cable, a problem with the drive itself, or incorrect BIOS settings.

How to remove floppy disk fail 40?

In order to get rid of this error, you need to perform several steps. But keep in mind that after this your floppy drive will no longer be detected by the system and you will not be able to use floppy disks. (I don’t know if there are those who still use them)

The first thing to do is disconnect the cable from the floppy drive. This applies to both the power cable and the interface cable. This must be done to eliminate the possibility of short circuiting possibly damaged loops. Do this only when the computer is turned off;
Next you need (one of the keys F2, F12, Delete);
Find there a line similar to Drive A, Floppy A. Usually located on the initial BIOS screen or in the “Standard Cmos Features” section
