- I get that message every time I lose power or turn off the computer on my
- PS/2 model 70 with SCSI hard disk and Future Domain controller formatted
- HPFS. However, it seems to work things out by itself somehow and ends up
- booting. Still, it makes me nervous.
-
- Anyone have any idea why this would happen? Doesn't happen on my system at
- home with an IDE hard disk.
