I think "Diskette Drive 0" refers to your floppy drive.
If the computer is over 3 or 4 years old your CMOS battery might be
dieing. Next time you could try pressing F2 to enter setup. Once
there, navigate around for an option to "load default settings", or
something similar to that. Then save the settings and exit Setup. If
it boots without the error, then you likely need a new CMOS battery.
They can be bought at any WalMart or RadioShack and usually are easy to
pop a new one in.
The random blue screen might be a totally different problem. It could
be caused by a lot of things, including a malfunctioning Hard Drive.
You might want to try running a checkdisk on the drive (is it XP?
Start, My Computer, right-click your C: drive and choose Properties.
Then click the Tools tab, and the Check Now button. Tell it to auto-fix
any errors. It can take quite a while to finnish.) In fact, you should
run the checkdisk in Safe Mode. Keep tapping the F8 key during boot and
you'll come to a boot menu. Choose Safe Mode. At the Safe Mode desktop
follow the above instructions to run Checkdisk.
Good luck,
Donk
