[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] HP Errors

mas35638@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu (Mike) (06/12/91)

I post this about every two months hoping someone from HP will
see it and come to my aid.  Still no luck, so here it is again.
When I turn on my Vectra QS/20 ('386, A: = 1.2flop, B: = 1.44flop,
C: = 32MB DOS partition, D: = 9 MB partition) it gives me an
error code 9303, which someone once told me was a problem with
disk drives.  Running SETUP helps none, as all the settings are
correct.  (I told it there was no D drive, as there is really
only one hard disk...is this right?)  Any ideas?  Thanks,

Mike

I was the one who said this was a disk error message. The 9xxx
are FLOPPY not hard disk errors. It's time to spend the money
to have a repair shop look at the system. You got a hardware
problem. It can be as simple as a loose cable or as bad as a 
bad motherboard.  It's time to have someone with hardware expertise 
take a hands on look at the system.
