Floppy Drive having different disk (Non-Bootable Disk) OR CMOS Parameters for Hard Disk may not be set properly.
b Hard Disk Partitions may not be created.
c Hard Disk may not be formatted.
17
Problem MISSING OPERATING SYSTEM
Solution
The System files missing namely Ie; command.com} - User File IO.SYS & MS_DOS.SYS } - Hidden Files. These above three files required for Start up of the system that can be transferred by using SYS C: Command OR While the time of formatting by using Format c:/u/s
18

Solution May the file Command.com is corrupted OR Infected by Virus OR Some one has Erased it.
19
Problem SHOWING I/O ERROR
Solution
a The type of Hard Disk in CMOS may not be set properly.
b Operating system used for formatting is not valid
20
Problem SHOWING DIVIDE OVER- FLOW MESSAGE
Solution
a May some Directories or Files crash with other files.
b Use CHKDSK/F or SCANDISK Command to correct it.
21
Problem HARD DISK MAKING NOISE WHILE PROCESSING
Solution
a Unstabilized power supply.
b Check for Loose Contact.
c Do not use Y Connectors for Hard Disk.
d
It may create Bad Sector OR Weak Hard Disk.
22
Problem HARD DISK HANGS WHILE PROCESSING
Solution
Check for Bad Sector by using CHKDSK or SCANDISK Command. If found format the Hard Disk and set Partition before that area.(This is the only procedure to use Hard Disk with Bad Sector) OR (To avoid Bad Sectors use Standard Power Supply)
23
Problem HARD DISK NOT DETECTED
Solution
a
Check Power Connector
b Check Data Cables
c Check Jumpers
24
Problem PARTITION NOT SHOWN
Solution
Operating System where the Hard Disk formatted is not supported with present Mother Board. For Eg: Hard Disk formatted with Pentium System will hide their partitions for 486 System.
25
