The System's Disk Drives - Mitsubishi Electric Apricot LS700 Owner's Handbook Manual

The system's disk drives

Floppy disk drive
Optional CD-ROM drive
Hard disk drive
If you have problems accessing a diskette or floppy disk,
check that it is inserted correctly, that it has been correctly
formatted, that it is not write-protected, and that the
permissions assigned by the BIOS allow the intended access.
Some application software also may not allow you to read or
write to floppy disks during certain other operations, or until
you are about to exit the programme.
If you have problems accessing a CD, check that you have
allowed a few seconds for the disk to spin up to full speed,
that the disk is the correct way up in the drive, printed side
upwards, and that it is a data CD.
Remember that with a conventional CD-ROM drive you
cannot write to a CD.
If you encounter problems accessing any IDE hard disk
drive, use the BIOS Setup utility to check that the drive is
correctly specified, and that the drive's controller is enabled.
Check also that the disk has been correctly formatted, and
that the permission assigned by the operating system allow
the intended access.
SCSI drives
If you have just fitted a new SCSI drive, or device, check
that you have used a valid 'ID' that does not conflict with
other SCSI drives or devices is the system. Look in any
documentation for information.
On boot up, just after POST, a list is displayed of the
devices attached to the SCSI interface, which shows the
device, its parameters and the set 'ID'.
