6-4 Solving System Problems
Run the Setup Utility (see Chapter 3) and set the initial
Boot parameter to hard drive C instead of diskette drive.
System does not boot immediately after hard drive
spins up.
The “Hard Disk Delay” in the BIOS Setup utility “Boot”
menu can be changed to a lower setting. (If you get a
message “operating system not found” after you change
the setting, the delay is at too low a setting. Set the hard
drive pre-delay slightly higher.)
System performance appears sluggish.
Check that the system is set for optimal operation. See the
