A
HARD
DISK
FROM
ANOTHER
COMPUTER
.
possible cause:
The hard disk is not recognized.
indicator:
The system cannot boot from the hard disk.
solution:
The BIOS usually automatically detects the parameters
of the hard disk. However, it may occasionally detect a
different set of parameters. If the system cannot use the
hard disk, check the parameters of the hard disk in
Setup.
Use the User option to manually adjust the parameters
if they are not the same as the original settings.
solution:
Setup’s Autotype assumes that any hard disk 528 MB or
larger is formatted using “LBA” mode. Some older sys-
tems don’t use LBA mode. If your hard disk wasn’t for-
matted using LBA mode, you must enter
Setup’s Pri-
mary Master section and manually adjust the LBA
Mode Control switch to “Disabled”. Since LBA mode is
the preferred standard, you may want to consider re-
formatting your hard disk. - After you’ve saved your files
on other media.
