MEMORY PARITY INTERRUPT AT ...
Problem: This could be a software error (reading a nonexistent memory area) or
a true hardware failure.
Solution(s): Attempt to repeat the error. If the error occurs during the execution of
your own proprietary software, verify that the memory location
specified in your software is valid.
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 can be caused by using a drive type number in the Fixed Disk
Menu that does not match the type number used to format the hard
disk. Run the BIOS setup program. Enter the Fixed Disk Menu.
Select the correct drive type 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 was not formatted.
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.
