What does S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD mean on my Acer Aspire TC-780, and what should I do?
If your S.M.A.R.T. capable hard disk sends a message indicating 'S.M.A.R.T. Status BAD', it means the hard disk has detected an imminent failure and you should back up your data and replace the disk.
What to do if my Acer Aspire TC-780 says 'Reboot and select proper boot device or Insert boot media in selected boot device'?
This message indicates that the BIOS could not find a bootable device in the system, or the removable media drive does not contain media. Reboot and select a proper boot device, or insert boot media into the selected boot device.
What does '5th Slave Drive - ATAPI Incompatible' mean on my Acer Aspire TC-780 Desktop?
The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Slave in the 5th IDE controller failed an ATAPI compatibility test.
What does 'NVRAM Bad' mean on my Acer Desktop?
The NVRAM data used to store Plug’n’Play (PnP) data was not used for system configuration in POST due to a data error.
What does 'Primary Slave Drive - ATAPI Incompatible' mean on my Acer Aspire TC-780?
The IDE/ATAPI device configured as Primary Slave failed an ATAPI compatibility test.
What does 'Drive Not Ready' mean on my Acer Aspire TC-780 Desktop?
The BIOS was unable to access the drive because it indicated it was not ready for data transfer. This is often reported by drives when no media is present.
What does 'A: Drive Error' mean on my Acer Aspire TC-780 Desktop?
This may be due to a bad cable or faulty diskette drive. The BIOS attempted to configure the A: drive during POST, but was unable to properly configure the device.
What does 'Checking NVRAM... Update Failed' mean on my Acer Aspire TC-780?
BIOS could not write to the NVRAM block.
Why does my Acer Aspire TC-780 say '4th Master Hard Disk Error'?
This message indicates that the IDE/ATAPI device configured as Master in the 4th IDE controller could not be properly initialized by the BIOS.
