During the DOS high-level format, the drive keeps retrying
hard errors and reporting the following message. “Attempt-
ing to recover allocation units. . .”
• This is normal with DOS Version 4.0 or later.
DOS messages, “Disk Boot Failure,” “Non-System Disk,” or
“No ROM Basic - SYSTEM HALTED,” appear.
• Open the floppy door.
• Check all cables.
• Use the same version of DOS throughout your system.
• Reinstall the DOS system files using the DOS SYS utility.
• Make sure the primary partition is active in FDISK.
• Check for viruses.
