Strategy for replacing a hard disk drive

Always try to run a low-level format before replacing a hard

disk drive.

Attention: The drive startup sequence in the computer

you are servicing may have been changed. Be extremely

careful during write operations such as copying, saving, or

formatting. If you select an incorrect drive, data or

programs can be overwritten.

How to use error messages

Use the error codes displayed on the screen to diagnose

failures. If more than one error code is displayed, begin the

diagnosis with the first error code. Whatever causes the

first error code may also cause false error codes. If no

error code is displayed, see whether the error symptom is

listed in the Symptom-to-FRU Index for the computer you

are servicing.
