Hard Disk Drive Problems

If the OmniBook's hard drive doesn't spin
Check the power source.
Remove and reinsert the hard drive. See page 5-3 for instructions.
If the hard disk makes buzzing or whining noise
Back up the drive immediately.
Check for alternate noise sources, such as the fan or a PC Card drive.
If files are corrupted
Run the McAfee VirusScan program (see page 2-18 for instructions).
If you're using Windows 95, you can run the Scandisk surface scan to check the
platter. (This is not available in Windows NT 4.0). From the Start menu, click
Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Scandisk.
Right click on the drive, then click Properties, Tools, Error Checking.
