Check to see whether that is a floppy diskette in

the floppy diskette drive or a CD-ROM/DVD-

ROM in the optical disc drive - if so remove it and

try to start the computer again.
If this has no effect, check the Boot Priority

setting within the TOSHIBA HW Setup utility -

please refer to the

Boot Priority

section in

Chapter 7,

HW Setup

for further information.

Please refer to your operating system

documentation in order to determine whether

there is a problem with any of the operating

system files or settings.

The files on the hard disk drive may be

fragmented - in this instance you should run the

disk Defragmentation utility to check the

condition of your files and the hard disk drive.

Please refer to the operating system's

documentation or online Help File for further

information on operating and using the

Defragmentation utility.
As a last resort you should reformat the hard disk

drive and then reload the operating system and

all other files and data. If you are still unable to

resolve the problem, contact your reseller, dealer

or service provider.
