Solved PC goes into an endless BOOT loop

[scopio]

Boot loop
Dell Inspiron 530
Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit
AMD Athlon 64 dual core
4GB DDR2
EVGA Graphics Card
PC showed no sign of powering on,
Removed graphics card
Disconnected HDD and DVD/CD ROM
Tested the power supply unit with multi meter all voltages are OK
Removed CMOS battery and replaced with new battery
Replaced the graphics card and connected the HDD and the DVD/CD ROM
The pc powered on and could hear the beep as normal, had the message Diskette drive 0 seek failure, went into the BIOS disabled the Floppy A [1.44, 3.5 in.]
Set the BOOT device priority to;
First Hard Disk
Second CD ROM
Third Removable
Fourth Hard Disk although there isn’t a fourth HDD
I am confused as on the HDD Group Boot Priority it states “1 3rd Master: WDC WD5000AAKS-75YGA0" which is my only HDD that has ever been installed with Windows plus data and applications.
The problem I have now is that the BOOT sequence goes into a loop and does not load Windows but instead after each loop the screen shows that there is NO SIGNAL and the pc starts again and the splash screen displays but the pc goes into the same loop over and over again with no other message.
Any help with sorting this endless loop and getting the pc to load Windows would be most appreciated.

Make sure your drive cables are plugged in good and snug on each end. If that doesn't fix it, then you probably have a bad drive, although it could be something else.

Remove one hardware device at a time (or remove the cable for the device), and boot the computer without that item installed:
* Floppy drive
* Graphics card
* One memory stick at a time
* etc

If removing a device caused the problem to disappear, then you have found the defective device.

Do you have the original Windows 7 Installation DVD or Recovery Disk?
You should set boot priority to
First CD ROM
Second Hard Disk
and try and boot into the recovery/installation media, and do a system restore.
If no installation shows up to repair then you need to repair the MBR (master boot record).

I did exactly that "boot into the recovery/installation media, and do a system restore" and I also replaced the data cable to the HDD just for good measure and all is working except I am now having to repair Windows Updates as I had the "Cannot Run Windows Update" error. I am trying Windows Repair Tool from Tweaking.com and doing a full scan of all Windows System files sfc scannow and chkdsk no problems at the moment.
