Diskette Drive Problems

Check the following problems to see the possible cause and solution.

!Diskette won’t load.

Check that a diskette is not in the drive.

Check that the diskette is being loaded correctly.

Check that the system power lamp is on and that the power-on screen appears.

Check that the diskette is formatted. If not, format it. See your operating system documentation.

Check that the diskette size is 1.44 MB.

If the diskette drive busy lamp does not light when you load the diskette, try a different diskette. If this loads, the problem is in the software.

!Non-System Disk or Disk Error message displayed.

If you are trying to boot from the diskette drive, insert a diskette with system files into drive A.

If a bootable diskette does not boot, use the BIOS Setup Utility to verify that the initial boot parameter is set to diskette drive A and not a hard drive.
