Problem
System powers on, the display works, but the system does not
complete the boot process or you see one of the following error
messages:
“Hard Disk Controller Failure.”
“Fixed Disk Configuration Error.”
“Operating System Not Found.”
Possible Cause
❏
Hard drive is incorrectly set up in CMOS.
❏
Hard drive cable may not be properly connected.
❏
CMOS may have lost settings.
❏
SCSI controller card may have lost settings.
❏
Files on hard drive may be corrupted.
❏
Hard drive may be defective.
Solution Checklist
❏
If you have a SCSI hard drive, make sure that the CMOS says
Not Installed for all hard disk drives. For help in getting to your
CMOS settings, see Chapter 3 - The BIOS Setup Program.
❏
For an IDE drive - check the parameters of the hard drive. Have
the system re-Autodetect the settings of the drive. To do this,
highlight the first hard disk from the MAIN screen of your CMOS
Setup (labeled Primary IDE Master) and press the <Enter> key.
On the next screen press <Enter> again and select AUTO
CONFIGURED. Press <Enter> and the system should reassign
the proper values to the hard drive. You will also want to make
sure that the primary IDE controller is enabled. To verify, move
to the ADVANCED section of CMOS and press <Enter> on the
line that says PERIPHERAL CONFIGURATION. Press <Enter>
again and select AUTO. Exit and save your changes.
❏
With the power OFF, carefully open the system unit. Reset the
gray ribbon cable that is connected to the hard drive and to the
motherboard or SCSI Controller Card. To assist you, the colored
stripe going down the side of the gray controller cable signifies
pin one and should be connected to pin one of the controller and
drive. Also, check to ensure that the power connector in the Hard
Drive is secure. Power the system back up and perform an
AUTODETECT of the hard drive again.
