Message Explanation or Suggestions for Corrective Action
Operating system not found
• Check whether the disk, HDD, FDD, or CD-ROM drive is
connected.
• If it is connected, check that it is detected by POST.
• Check that your boot device is enabled on the Setup Security
menu.
• If the problem persists, check that the boot device contains the
operating system.
Missing operating system If you have configured HDD user parameters, check that they are
correct. Otherwise, use HDD type “Auto” parameters.
