c) You can watch the progression of the POST test as it will display the size of RAM in
the machine. The total amount of RAM that is active and properly working will
display for a second or two until the screen clears.
d) Now open the computer and view the RAM directly to see if the displayed amount
and the physical amounts match. Again, make sure you use the same type of RAM
to replace defective RAM and reboot.
e) Next, the PC will begin to boot into its operating system. You may receive one of
several possible drive controller errors when the OS tries to detect the different
hard drives connected the mother board. If so, reboot with a DOS boot disk and
load correct drivers for the problem hard drive.
f) If the boot sequence beeps properly, indicates no driver errors, yet still does not
bring up the desktop there is probably a serious motherboard problem.
Disassemble the CPU box, saving any good parts to inventory, and recycle the rest
of the CPU.

For privacy and security reasons, it is program policy to reformat every system
hard drive in order to completely erase any pre-existing files and data.
All operating systems need a license to run. Since reformatting the system
drive removes license information along with all other files, the information must be
retrieved first before a reformat occurs.
