Check to see whether that is a floppy diskette in
the floppy diskette drive or a CD-ROM/DVD-

try to start the computer again.
If this has no effect, check the
Boot Priority
setting within the TOSHIBA HW Setup utility -
please refer to the
section in
Chapter 7,
for further information.
Please refer to your operating system
documentation in order to determine whether
there is a problem with any of the operating
system files or settings.

The files on the hard disk drive may be
fragmented - in this instance you should run the
disk Defragmentation utility to check the
condition of your files and the hard disk drive.
Please refer to the operating system's
documentation or online Help File for further
information on operating and using the
Defragmentation utility.
As a last resort you should reformat the hard disk

all other files and data. If you are still unable to
resolve the problem, contact your reseller, dealer
or service provider.
