work that you did not save before the computer was turned off cannot be

If you are using Rapid Resume, and if you have installed or removed hardware,
follow these steps:
1. Press the system on/off button to turn off the computer.
2. Return the computer to its previous hardware configuration.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. If the error does not reoccur, save any work you want to keep.
5. Use the Setup Utility to verify that the On/Off Button Mode option is set to
Power Off. For information about this Setup Utility option, see "Rapid
Resume advanced options" on page 43.
6. After you have saved your Setup Utility changes, wait until the Windows 95
desktop is displayed. Then use the system on/off button to turn off the
computer again.

hardware in your tower, make sure you follow the instructions in
"Chapter 7: Working with adapter cards and drives" on page 77. If you are
