Error Messages

If a System ROM Message Appears
If the following system ROM error message appears:
Cannot display error messages
Flash ROM may be defective
The contents of the system are corrupted or incomplete, and you will need to initialize the
system ROM using the HPROMInit utility.
Contact your dealer (or your HP sales office) for an HPROMInit utility diskette for the Vectra
VE 4/xx.
To initialize the system ROM:
1. Insert the HPROMInit utility diskette in drive A.
2. Restart the PC and follow the instructions until the procedure finishes. Do NOT switch
off the PC until the ROM update procedure has completed (successfully or not), since
irrecoverable damage to the ROM may occur.
3. Remove the HPROMInit utility diskette.
4. Switch the PC off and then back on to initialize the system ROM.
