I HAVE FORMAT MY HD AND WHEN I REBOOT....I'VE FOUND THIS ERROR IN DOS:

RAM PARITY ERROR
CHECKING FOR SEGMENT....
OFFENDING SEGMENT:
0000
PRESS F1 TO DISABLE NMI OR F2 TO REBOOT

IF PRESS F1: NOTHING
IF PRESS F2: REBOOT, BIOS NOT DETECTED MY HD AND AGAIN THE ERROR MESSAGE.

MAY MY RAM (24) IS DIED ?????
MAYBE MY HD HAVE THE PROBLEM ???

THANK AND BYE

Have you made sure that you have all the necessary bus grant
continuity cards installed?

Maybe you should upgrade from DOS to RSX-11/M+? DOS is pretty
outdated.

This is not a PDP, but a PC, surely!

In which case this is NOT the forum for this question.

And if you are in Compaq, can't you get internal support ?

Wow! I did not think anyone ever tried networking in DOS.

Well pull your DEUNA or whatever, and try again. It shouldn't have
anything to do with your memory problem. Don't forget to reinstall
the Grant Continuity Card.

It is surprising that DOS complains about RAM. I would have thought
CORE, which was flat and not segmented anyway. Also surprising that
it advises pressing F1 or F2. I don't think that the ASR-33 or
contemporary terminals ever had function keys. Are you sure you are
running DOS?
