problem persists, insert a system diskette, press F1, back-
up the data held on the defective hard disk and try
reformatting it.
No boot device available
Press the F1 key to continue
This may indicate a fault in the diskette or hard disk drive,

using another system diskette if possible. If the problem
persists, consult your supplier or an approved maintainer.
Checklist
If you encounter a problem with your computer the
following list suggests a number of checks to make before
you ring your dealer or support organisation. The checks
listed cover the causes of common problems.
Connections
Check that all power and signal cables are securely
connected to the correct socket on the computer.
The keyboard and mouse are particularly easy to plug into
the wrong connector. Although the connectors are identical
the keyboard will not work if it is connected to the mouse
port and vice versa.
The two serial ports are also identical, if you have a problem
make sure that cable is connected to the port you are trying
use.
