3.Did you run the SETUP program to define the correct type of diskette drive as part of the computer’s configuration? (See Chapter 2 for instructions.)

4.If you are still having trouble with the drive, run the Floppy disk system diagnostic tests, described in Appendix C. If the diagnostics program indicates an error, consult your Epson dealer.

Hard Disk Problems

If you are having a problem with a hard disk, it could be the result of improper installation, incomplete disk preparation, or corrupted data. The suggestions in this section are divided into three categories:

Q Installing the drive

QPreparing the drive for use D Accessing data on the drive.

Consult the section that seems most likely to cover the problem you are having. For example, if you have been able to use data on your disk in the past but suddenly cannot, see “Accessing Data on the Drive.”

Caution

If your disk has data on it, be very careful before you

perform any procedure that may erase data (such as formatting the disk). Consult your dealer if you have any

questions. Always be sure to back up your data before reformatting or repartitioning the disk drive. See the descriptions of COPY, XCOPY, and BACKUP in your MS-DOS Reference Manual.
