SELF CHECK 5:

1. You can change the boot device order from the standard:
 Floppy disk
 Hard disk drive 0 (master hard disk)
 CD-ROM.
2. Failure to read hard disk drive
 Running a disk checking program like scandisk, fsck, Norton’s Disk Doctor or
some other program appropriate to the operating system.
 Reinstalling the operating system making sure the drive is formatted. If the
option allows it, perform a full format and not a quick format. A full format will
make a thorough check of the drive for faulty sectors.
 The cable may be faulty or not connected to the hard disk drive properly.
3. CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive not reading disks
 The copying process was never complete and the disk session not closed off.
Check the setting on the software in use.
 General poor quality disks or CD/DVD burner.
 Disk dirty or in need of cleaning.
 Faulty drive — when CD-ROM dives first came onto the market, the quality
was poor and it seemed as though they were a disposable item. These days
the quality and reliability seems much improved.
