• Run the Setup program and ensure that the hard disk type is
correct (see page 79 for information on the Setup program).
• Is it possible to start up the system using a boot disk and then
read the information on the hard disk? If so, see the problem
explanation below.
• If you cannot access any of the information on the hard disk,
contact RM.
You cannot start up using the hard disk but can access the
disk when you start up from floppy.
Make a backup of the contents of your hard disk before trying the
following.
• Try running the SYS command from C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.
This will transfer a new copy of the system files onto the root of
the hard disk. The system files may have been accidentally
deleted from the hard disk.
Error Messages During Start-up
If a non-fatal error is detected during start-up (i.e. an error which
does not prevent the system from starting up), an error message is
displayed on your screen. Note the error message and then press
<F1> to continue.
If the POST (Power On Self Tests) detects a fatal error during
start-up (i.e. an error which will not allow the system to continue the
start-up procedure), your computer has developed a serious
problem. Fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of
audible beeps.
This section lists some of the error messages which are displayed
and suggests how to correct the error using the Setup program.
See the Systemboard User Manual (found in the white envelope
labelled Technical Information) for more error codes, beep codes
and how to use the Setup program.
