Hard

Disk Problems

If you think there is something wrong with your hard disk, see

the suggestions below.

You have problems with a newly-installed

drive.

If your dealer installed the drive, consult your dealer about

the problem.

If you installed the hard disk yourself, make sure you

carefully followed all the instructions in Chapter 6. Review

the instructions and check all the cable connections to make

sure you have installed it correctly. Also, check the jumper

settings on your drive to be sure they are set correctly.

If you installed a non-Epson hard disk drive, verify that it

was physically formatted. This type of format is usually

done by the manufacturer; if yours was not, you must do it

yourself. If the drive came with its own format utility, use

that program; if not, follow the instructions in Appendix B.

Verify that you ran the System Configuration program to

define your hard disk drive type correctly. See Chapter 2.

If you are sure the hard disk has been installed and

prepared properly but you cannot access the drive, review

the instructions in your operating system manual. Make

sure you performed the necessary steps in the installation

process for your configuration.

If you still have trouble, test the drive by running the

System diagnostic tests described in Appendix A.

If you still cannot identify the problem, consult the dealer

from whom you purchased the drive.
