which means it cannot be used to boot up the system.
Use another boot disk and follow the instructions on
the screen.

depending upon the type of video being used. To
correct this situation, set the switch properly after the
system is powered off.

processor board.
DMA #1 Error An error has occurred in the first DMA channel on the

disk drive controller. Check all appropriate
connections after the system is powered off.

connector on the processor board.
Keyboard Error The BIOS has encountered a timing problem with the
keyboard. The Keyboard option in the Standard Setup
portion of the BIOS Setup Utility may be set to

keyboard POST routines.
Keyboard is Locked...
Unlock it
The keyboard lock on the system is engaged. It must
be unlocked to continue the bootup procedure.
No ROM BASIC This error occurs when a proper bootable sector
cannot be found on either floppy disk drive A: or hard
disk drive C:. The BIOS will try at this point to run
ROM Basic, and the error message is generated
when the BIOS does not find it.
