A “floppy diskette seek failure” means that your computer is trying to boot from a floppy disk instead of your hard drive. For your computer to be used, it must boot from your hard drive.
In order to make your computer boot from your hard drive, you must enter a program called BIOS on your computer. The way to enter BIOS is to press F2 repeatedly right after you press the power button. That will get you to your BIOS. You can then find the BIOS setting that will make your computer boot from your hard drive.
Here is a link to a video on YouTube that explains this in more detail:

A technician suggested I install windows 10 on the new hard drive.?.? Sounds correct. Will try.
Installing 10 will cause 1 or 2 hours to do a max 10 min job? Listen to your first answer
