If there has been a change in the system configuration
that does not agree with the parameter settings stored in
your BIOS memory, or there is a failure in the system,
the system beeps and/or displays an error message after
the Power On Self Test (POST). If the failure is not too
severe, it will give you an opportunity to modify the
setup utility settings, as described in the following steps:
1. When you turn on or restart the computer there is a
beep and/or the following message appears on the

If your notebook emits a series of beeps
that sounds like a code and the display is
blank, please refer to the Troubleshooting Section in the system User’s Guide.
The Troubleshooting Section includes a
list of error messages and their meanings.

■
Be aware of the operating environment when booting from a CD or you may overwrite files by mistake.
■
A bootable CD-ROM has a floppy disk format or a hard drive format. When a bootable CD-ROM is used,
drive allocations change automatically without changing the BIOS setup. If floppy disk format is used, the
CD-ROM becomes Drive A. The CD-ROM will only take drive C: (hard drive format) if the internal hard
drive is disabled or not present. The bootable CD-ROM can never use a C designation if a formatted internal hard drive is present since the C designator is reserved for the internal hard drive.The boot sequence
ignores the new drive designations, however, your application software will use the new designations.

for the Boot menu and its submenu, all of the options
