“Solving Hard Disk Problems”
in this chapter for information
about the hard disk.
Q. I receive a non-system disk or disk error message. What
is wrong?
A. If you have a non-system or disk error message, check
the following:
•
Check the diskette drive to see if you have a diskette in the
drive. When drive activity stops, remove the diskette and
press the Spacebar to continue the startup process.
•
If a diskette is not in the drive, the system files have been
damaged. To repair the system files, complete the
following steps:
a. Insert the startup diskette that you have created for
your operating system in the diskette drive.
b. Press and hold down the Power
button until your
Notebook shuts down.
c. Press the Power
button to restart your Notebook.
d. At the A:\ prompt, type SYS C: and press the Enter
key. The following message is displayed:
‘SYSTEM TRANSFERRED’. This operation restores
the system files to your hard disk.
e. When the operation is complete, restart your Notebook.
