Questions & Answers
Q. Why does the “NO ROM BASIC” message appear
when booting up?
A. The DOS partition may not be activated, run the MS DOS FDISK utility
and set the partition active. Refer to your MS DOS reference manual for
specific instructions on activating a DOS partition using the FDISK
command.
Q. Why is the message “Missing Operating System”
displayed during boot, but the hard drive is still seen
by the controller?
A. Check for the active partition. High level format the partition with the
“format C:/s” option. Note, this will erase any data currently on your hard
drive. If the drive was previously used on another controller, you may need
to perform a low-level format and then prepare the drive with DOS Fdisk
and Format utilities. If the mapping mode has been changed since the last
hard disk partitioning, perform another Fdisk and Format.
Q. My system displays a “Hard Disk Failure” message
during boot up, what can I do to correct it?
A. Check all cables and drive jumpers. Make sure the drive for the C: drive
is “Type 0" or “Not Installed” in System CMOS if no IDE is installed.
Q. When my system boots up, the banner shows 6
drives, but I only have 1 drive. What is wrong?
A. Check that the drive is not the same SCSI ID as the SCSI controller,
which defaults to ID 7. Make sure your drive is set to SCSI ID 0.
