The Power - On Self Test (POST)
When you turn ON the Notebook PC, it will first run through a series of software-controlled diagnostic tests called
the Power-On self Test (POST).The software that controls the POST is installed as a permanent part of the
Notebook PC's architecture. The POST includes a record of the Notebook PC's hardware configuration, which is
used to make a diagnostic check of the system. This record is created by using BIOS Setup program. If the POST
discovers a difference between the record and the existing hardware, it will display a message on the screen
prompting you to correct the conflict by running BIOS Setup. In most cases the record should be correct when you
receive the Notebook PC. When the test is finished, you may get a message reporting "No operating system found "
if the hard disk was not preloaded with an operating system. This indicates that the hard disk is correctly detected
and ready for the installation of a new operating system.
Important :
If warnings are still given during bootup after running a software disk checking utility, you should take your Notebook PC
in for servicing. Continued use my result in data loss.
