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 expansion 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 was 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 to the
disk, 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 performed on a sector
flagged as bad.
A diagnostic command that failed was issued
to the controller.
An operation on the hard disk drive timed out.
