You see a hard disk drive error when you start your system.
Run SETUP and check that your system is auto-sensing 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 2.
If you‘ve loaded the IDE driver, edit your CONFIG.SYS file so
that the command line for your IDE driver is after any memory
or disk management utility commands. Save your changes,
then restart your system.
Make sure the jumpers on the system board are set correctly.
Jumpers JP10 and JP11 enable or disable the primary and
secondary IDE hard disk drive controllers. See Chapter 4 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 are 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 form atted it correctly. See your operating
system and hard disk drive manuals 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 software-based formatting commands, such as the MS-DOS
FORMAT command.)
