Description
Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS
power-on self-test (POST) for the particular
3.5-inch disk drive. Check to see that the drive
is defined with the proper disk type in BIOS
Setup. Also, if the disk drive is an external drive
(rather than the internal drive), ensure that the
disk drive is correctly connected.
The EXM module is not configured properly, or
the BIOS cannot locate the module. Run BIOS
Setup Utility to correct the configuration.
The extended memory is not working or is not
configured properly at offset nnnn . Contact your
HP Service and Support Center for assistance.
The hexadecimal number nnnn is a map of the
bits at the RAM address (in System, Extended,
or Shadow memory) which failed the memory
test. Each 1 (one) in the map indicates a failed
bit. Contact your HP Service and Support
Center for assistance.
The fixed disk (internal hard disk drive) is not
working or is not configured properly. Run BIOS
Setup to ensure the disk type is correctly
identified. If this does not fix the problem,
contact your HP Service and Support Center for
assistance.
The disk type for drive A: or B: is not correctly
or
identified in BIOS Setup. Run BIOS Setup to set
the correct disk type.
There is a problem with NVRAM (CMOS)
access. Contact your HP Service and Support
Center for assistance.
