setup utility to check for the hard drive type settings and correct them if necessary. If the settings are
OK and the message appears when you restart the system, there may be a serious fault which might
cause you to lose data if you continue. Contact your support representative.
*Incorrect Drive A type – run SETUP
Type of floppy drive A: not correctly identified in Setup. This means that the floppy disk drive type
identified in your setup utility does not agree with the type detected by the Power On Self Test. Run the
setup utility to correct the inconsistency.
