boot from hard drive

Check if a diskette is in the diskette drive. If a
diskette is inserted, remove it and reboot.

There may be a problem with your operating
system files. Refer to your OS documentation.

Your files may be fragmented. Run SCANDISK
and defragmenter to check the condition of
your files and disk. Refer to your OS
documentation or online HELP for information
on running SCANDISK and the defragmenter.

Run the diagnostic test. Write down any
