POST Messages
When the GoBook III computer restarts, it tests its hardware components. This test is called the Power
On Self Test (POST) . If the system finds an error during this test, it displays an error message.
Some POST errors can occur before anything can be displayed on the screen. In this case, the computer
issues a series of beeps, then stops working. This type of error indicates a serious hardware problem, and
you should contact your supervisor or your organization’s help desk.
The most common POST error messages are listed next along with solutions you can try.
Disk not found
Restart the computer by pressing the power button for at least eight seconds. If the problem persists,
contact your supervisor or your organization's help desk.
