Troubleshooting
Hard Drive Problems
You cannot access your
hard drive.
The setup utility is incorrectly
set for your internal (Primary
Master) or optional second
hard drive (Primary Slave).
Revise BIOS settings to set both Primary Master
and Primary Slave correctly. See “BIOS Setup
Utility” on page 29.
The wrong drive designator
was used by an application
when a bootable CD-ROM was
used to start the LifeBook.
Verify drive designator used by application is in
use by the operating system. When the operating
system is booted from a CD, drive designations
are automatically adjusted.
Security is set so your oper-
ating system cannot be started
without a password.
Verify your password and security settings.

not seem to work.
The LifeBook has gone into
Suspend mode.
Push the Suspend/Resume button.

using the power switch, wait 10 seconds or more,
and then turn it back on.
