Probable Cause
Hard drive is about to fail. (Some hard
drives have a firmware patch that will
fix an erroneous error message.)
No other IDE device may be attached
to the same IDE controller.
Devices attached to the primary IDE
controller are inaccessible while the
SATA controller is set to "Replace
Primary IDE Controller in Setup.
SATA cables are plugged into the
incorrect connectors.
Processor not supported by ROM
BIOS.
The previously saved copy of the MBR
has been corrupted.
The current MBR does not match the
previously saved copy of the MBR.
Recommended Action
1 Determine if hard drive is giving correct error
message. Run the Drive Protection System test if
applicable.
2 Apply firmware patch if applicable (visit http://
www.hp.com/support).
Attach the MultiBay as device 0 on the primary IDE
controller.
1 Run Computer Setup (F10 Setup).
2 Select Storage>Storage Options and set SATA
controller to Add as Separate Controller.
Follow the on-screen directions that are displayed in
conjunction with this message. It will direct you to use the
four SATA connectors in a particular sequence. The SATA
connectors are color-coded dark blue, white, orange, and
light blue.
Upgrade BIOS to proper version.
Run Computer Setup and save the MBR of the current
bootable disk.
Use extreme caution, the MBR might have been updated
due to normal disk maintenance activities (disk manager,
fdisk, or format). Replacing the previously saved MBR in
such situations can cause data loss. If certain that the
MBR change is unintentional and undesired (for example,
due to a virus), run Computer Setup and restore the
previously saved MBR copy. Otherwise, run Computer
Setup and either disable MBR security or save the MBR
of the current bootable disk.
