the hard disk.
When you power on your notebook, it will perform a Power On
Self Test (POST) to check the internal parts and confguration for
correct functionality. If a fault is found, your computer emits an audio
warning and/or displays an error message on the display with a
description or code.
Depending on the nature of the problem, you may be able to
continue by starting the operating system or by entering the BIOS
setup utility and revising the settings. After satisfactory completion
of the Power On Self Test (POST), your notebook loads the installed
operating system.
CAUTION Never turn off your notebook during the Power On
Self Test (POST), or an unrecoverable error may occur.
