Reading the hard
drive takes more time
than usual after
restarting the
computer
Hard drive error
occurs
The hard drives provided by Compaq for your Armada
personal computer are unformatted. An unformatted hard drive
capacity differs in comparison to the capacity of a formatted hard
drive. For example, the storage capacity of an unformatted hard
drive may display on the computer at 5.4 Gigabytes, but after
formatting will display at 5.2 Gigabytes. This affects all hard
drives regardless of make, model, and storage capacity.
Troubleshooting
Computer entered
Hibernation due to a
low battery condition
and is now exiting
from it.
Hard drive has bad
sectors or has failed.
Give the computer time to
restore the previously
saved data to the state it
was in before Hibernation
occurred.
Run ScanDisk after
placing a check in the
Automatically Fix Errors
box.
If you are running
Windows NT 4.0, go to the
system prompt and type
chkdisk. The computer
will automatically scan for
errors.
Reformat the hard drive.
