Missing operating system
Problem: Although the system could read the hard disk and find the active
partition, the operating system files could not be found.
Solution(s): This is can be caused by using a drive type number or head/cylinder
combination in the EPC-8’s IDE Adapter 0 Master Menu that does not
match the type number used to format the hard disk. Run the BIOS
setup program. Select the Autotype fixed disk option, or if known,
correct drive type or User Editable parameters to match the type used
to format the disk originally. Save the changes and reboot the system.
This can also occur if the hard disk is partitioned and one partition is
set active, but the partition does not contain the operating system
files..
Non-system disk or disk error
Replace and press any key when ready
Problem: This is caused by an attempt to boot from a disk or diskette that is not
recognized as a system disk; that is no system files exist on the disk or
diskette.
Solution(s): Most often it results when you reboot with a non-system diskette in the
floppy drive, because the BIOS always attempts to boot from the
floppy drive if a diskette is installed.
If you are trying to boot from the hard disk, make sure that you do not
have a diskette in the A: drive and press any key.
If you are trying to boot from floppy, insert a known good bootable
system diskette in the A: drive and press any key.
