I have an Inspiron 1000. I accidentally left a disk in my external 3.5 floppy drive when I started up my computer. I got the message "Loading PBR for descriptor 2...failed" and it stopped. I tried removing the disk, and even the drive, but that did no good. I tried going with F2 (setup) and setting it back to previous settings, and even factory settings, but none of that is helping. What can I do to fix it? I'm using my desktop to ask this question, but I can copy a file onto a floppy if I need to. (I don't have a CD/RW on this computer, so I can't copy really large files.) I would be grateful for any help I can get.
