This section describes how to determine if the 2.5” HDD is functioning properly. Perform 
the steps below starting with Procedure 1 and continuing with the other procedures as 
required. 

Procedure 1:  Partition Check 

Procedure 2:  Message Check 

Procedure 3:  Format Check 

Procedure 4:  Diagnostic Test Program Execution Check 

Procedure 5:  Connector Check and Replacement Check 

 

CAUTION

: The contents of the hard disk will be erased when the 2.5” HDD 

troubleshooting procedures are executed. Transfer the contents of the hard disk to 
floppy disks or other storage drive(s). For the backup, refer to the User’s Manual. 

Procedure 1 

Partition Check

Enter

. Choose Display Partition Information from the 

FDISK menu. If drive C is listed in the Display Partition Information, go to 
Check 3. If drive C is not listed, return to the FDISK menu and choose the 
option to create a DOS partition or a logical DOS drive on drive C. If the 
problem still exists, go to Procedure 2. 

Check 3 

If drive C is listed as active in the FDISK menu, go to Check 4. If drive C is not 
listed as active, return to the FDISK menu and choose the option to set the 
active partition for drive C. Then  go to Procedure 2.
