Explanation
There is no hard disk drive in the system but
you tried to run the Hard Disk Utility.
No response from the hard disk, or the hard
disk is not repairable. Check all cable and
power connections to the hard disk.
Error response from the reset command sent
to the hard disk controller. The controller may
not be seated properly in the BUS slot.
The hard disk drive (C: or D:) is not
responding to commands. Check power and
cable connections to the hard disk.
Explanation
The address mark (initial address) on the hard
disk could not be found.
No response has been received from the hard
disk drive. An operation has already begun
and the hard disk did not respond. It had
responded earlier.
When the hard disk drive utility writes, it also
calculates an ECC (Error Correction Code)
value for the data being written. This ECC
value is written to the drive and then read
back. The value read back is different from
the one calculated.
An operation was perform on a sector that
has been flagged, i.e., marked, as bad.
A diagnostic command that failed was issued
to the controller.
An operation on the hard disk drive has timed
out. The hard disk drive utility has waited
beyond a preset specified time limit.
A reset command was sent to the controller
with drive parameters. The controller did not
get a response from the hard disk. Make sure
the drive type is correct.
