If there is a diskette in the drive, verify that:
1. The diskette drive is enabled. Use the
Configuration/Setup Utility to check this. For
more information, see Chapter 4, "Using the
Configuration/Setup Utility program" on
page 37.
2. The computer is checking for the diskette drive
in the startup sequence. Use the
Configuration/Setup Utility to verify this.
3. The diskette you are using is good and not
damaged. Try inserting another diskette if you
have one.
4. The diskette is inserted correctly, with its label
up and its metal-shutter end first in the drive.
5. The diskette contains the necessary files to start
the computer (the diskette must be startable).
6. The diskette drive cable is properly installed and
securely connected.
7. There is no problem with your software program
(see "Software problems" on page 108).
If you cannot correct the problem, have the computer
serviced.
