One solution is to slow the processor speed during startup. If your computer has a turbo switch, set it to slow speed before turning the computer on. If there is no turbo switch, you may be able to use keyboard commands; see your computer man- ual for details. After the computer is up and running, return the processor to the fast speed.
Another solution is to
•Check for I/O address conflicts. To isolate the conflict, verify that the drive and host adapter are compatible with your com- puter. Turn off the computer and remove all the peripheral adapter cards except for the video card and host adapter. If the computer recognizes the drive when you reboot the com- puter, turn off the computer. Reinstall the other peripheral cards, one at a time, until the conflict reoccurs. After you have isolated the source of the address conflict, you can resolve the conflict by changing the I/O address of the peripheral that appears to cause the conflict.
The dealer partitioned and formatted the drive for you in the store, but the drive does not respond when you install it.
•Reboot the computer and make sure the drive spins up. Check all cables.
•Make sure the power supply is adequate for system needs.
•Make sure the DOS or Windows version the dealer used to partition and format the drive is the same version you have installed in your computer. If it isn’t, see your dealer.
•Check for I/O address conflicts between peripheral cards.
•Check for viruses.
