You see a hard disk drive error when you start your system.
Run SETUP and check that your system is auto-sensing the
correct drive type. If auto-sensing is enabled and SETUP
displays information that does not match your drive, you may
need to define your own drive type. See Chapter 1.
Make sure the jumpers on the system board are set correctly.
Jumpers JB and JE enable or disable the IDE hard disk drive
controller. See Chapter 3 for jumper information.
Make sure the jumpers on the hard disk drive are set correctly.
See the documentation that came with the drive for more
information.
You are unable to store data on the hard d&k drive.
If the hard disk drive has been in low-power standby mode,
make sure the drive has had time to achieve its full operating
speed before you try to write data to it.
If your drive was not configured, make sure you have
partitioned and formatted it correctly for your operating
system. See your operating system manual for instructions.
Also, make sure your hard disk drive has been physically
formatted by the manufacturer. (All EPSON-supplied drives
are physically formatted at the factory.) If it has not been
physically formatted, use the format utility that came with the
drive to format it before you partition it or install the operating
system; (Note that a physical format is different from
software-based formatting commands, such as the MS-DOS
FORMAT command.)
