21TroubleshootingList of Error CodesThe following is a list of the messages that BIOS can display. Most of them occur during POST. Some of them display informa-tion about a hardware device, e.g., the amount of memory installed. Others may indicate a problem with a device, such as the wayit has been configured. Following the list are explanations of the messages and remedies for reported problems.If your system displays any of the below error messages other that the ones marked with an asterisk (*), write down the messageand contact Panasonic Technical Support ( page 42). If your system fails after you make changes in the Setup menus, reset thecomputer, enter Setup and install Setup defaults or correct the error.0200 Failure Fixed DiskFixed disk in not working or not configured properly.
