Diskette Drive Problems
If you are having problems with the diskette drive, check the
following:
1. If the drive does not seem to be working as it should, try
performing a similar operation with a diskette in another
computer's drive, if you have access to one.
2. If the drive is making loud or unusual noises, stop the
current operation immediately and contact your
Authorized
EPSON Servicer.
Hard Disk Problems
If you have problems with your hard disk drive, check the
following:
1. Check the hard disk drive light. If you enter commands (such
as DIR) to access the hard disk, the light should be on when
the computer accesses the drive. If the light is blinking, there
may be a problem with the hard disk. Contact your
Authorized EPSON Servicer if this occurs.
2.
If you have set a timeout for the hard disk in the Setup
program and it has timed out the hard disk drive requires
about 15 seconds to come back up to speed when you access it
again.
3. Make sure you have formatted the hard disk correctly for
MS-DOS or the operating system you are using. See the
instructions in your operating system manual.
