You may need to specify the option Start-up time for IDE
drives if your drive is slower to start up than average. (And if you have
a quick drive then you can probably reduce the default to save a bit of
time). This gives the time in tenths of a second that the PC card waits
on power up before trying to access the drive. This is because the drive
only starts to spin up the first time !PC is started, and it cannot be
used until it is up to speed.
If this value is too low then you may see error messages such as Drive
not working or No boot drive available before it boots, and
it may not boot at all.
-
Go to the line in the !PCconfig window Startup time for IDE drives (x
0.1 sec).
-
Enter a revised value.
The value must be a number between 0 and 140, that is, between 0 and
14 seconds. The default value is 21, that is 2.1 seconds.
