Diskette Drive Problems
Check the following problems to see the possible cause and solution.
Diskette won’t load.
Check that a diskette is not in the drive.
Check that the diskette is being loaded correctly.
Check that the system power lamp is on and that the power-on screen
appears.
Check that the diskette is formatted. If not, format it. See your
operating system documentation.
Check that the diskette size is 1.44 MB.
If the diskette drive busy lamp does not light when you load the
diskette, try a different diskette. If this loads, the problem is in the
software.

If you are trying to boot from the diskette drive, insert a diskette with
system files into drive A.
If a bootable diskette does not boot, use the BIOS Setup Utility to
verify that the initial boot parameter is set to diskette drive A and not a
hard drive.
