Epson 2000 - Manual (Page 92)

You see a hard disk drive error when you start your system.
Run SETUP and check that your system’s auto-sensing feature
is detecting the correct drive type. If auto-sensing is enabled
and SETUP displays information that does not match your
drive, you may need to define your own drive type. See
Chapter 1.
Make sure the jumpers on the system board are set correctly.
Jumpers J14 and J16 enable or disable the IDE hard disk drive
controller. See Chapter 3 for jumper information.
Make sure the jumpers on the hard disk drive are set correctly.
See the documentation that came with the drive for more
information.
You ate unable to store data on the hard disk drive.
If the hard disk drive has been in low-power standby mode,
make sure the drive has had time to achieve its full operating
speed before you try to write data to it.
If your drive was not configured, make sure you have
partitioned and formatted the drive correctly for your
operating system. See your operating system manual for
instructions.
Also, make sure your hard disk drive has been physically
formatted by the manufacturer. (All EPSON-supplied drives
are physically formatted at the factory.) If it has not been
physically formatted, use the format utility that came with the
drive to format it before you partition it or install the operating
system.
Note that a physical format is different from the action of
commands such as MS-DOS FORMAT.
