Try rebooting your computer by pressing the
keys simultaneously. If the drive is recognized after you
DELETE
reboot the system, the computer BIOS test may be completing
before the drive is ready.
One solution is to slow the processor speed during startup. If
your computer has a turbo switch, set it to slow speed before
turning the computer on. If there is no turbo switch, you may
be able to use keyboard commands; see your computer man-
ual for details. After the computer is up and running, return the
processor to the fast speed.
Another solution is to warm-boot your computer after every
power-on.
Check for I/O address conflicts. To isolate the conflict, verify
that the drive and host adapter are compatible with your com-
puter. Turn off the computer and remove all the peripheral
adapter cards except for the video card and host adapter. If
the computer recognizes the drive when you reboot the com-
puter, turn off the computer. Reinstall the other peripheral
cards, one at a time, until the conflict reoccurs. After you have
isolated the source of the address conflict, you can resolve the
conflict by changing the I/O address of the peripheral that
appears to cause the conflict.
If Disk Manager has installed the DDO on your hard drive and
you have booted directly from a diskette, the information in the
boot record for the drive may not have been loaded. Make sure
there is no diskette in drive A and reboot. If you want to boot
from the diskette, follow the "Booting from a diskette" instruc-
tions on page 20.
