Solution(s): Check the integrity of the keyboard connector.
If you think you pressed a key during power-up, reboot the system.
Some keyboards are designed with a switch (or jumper) to allow the
user to configure the keyboard for use with an AT machine or an XT
machine. If this is the case with your keyboard, verify that the switch is in
the AT position.
The keyboard may not be a valid PC/AT keyboard (e.g., it is a
PC/XT-only or PS/2 keyboard). If this is the case, replace the keyboard with
a PC/AT style keyboard.
MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM
BIOS
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
BIOS setup menu that does not match the type number used to format the
hard disk. Run the BIOS setup program. Enter the IDE Adapter Sub-menu.
Select the correct drive type to match the type used to format the disk
originally. If the drive conforms to ANSI specifications, you may use the
Autotype feature to automatically configure the controller for the drive being
used. Save the changes and reboot the system.
This problem can also occur if:
• the hard disk is partitioned and one partition is set active, but the
partition is not formatted. Format the partition using the utilities your
operating system provides.
• the system attempts to boot from a floppy disk that is not bootable.
