If system does not start on your A21 you may need to reinstall the system. To perform a recovery or repair, do the following:
Make backup copies of your data files, if possible. Any files on drive C that are not backed up will be lost.
Do one of the following (for best results, use the F11 method):
If you are using the Product Recovery program for recovery purposes, turn off your computer for at least 5 seconds. Press and hold the F11 key while you restart the computer. When the Product Recovery program starts, release the F11 key.
Note: If pressing the F11 key does not start the Product Recovery program, then your recovery partition is corrupted, in this case you will need to use a Recovery Repair diskette.
If you are using the Product Recovery CD for recovery purposes, place the CD in the drive (if you have more than one Product Recovery CD, use Product Recovery CD 1). Then, restart the computer. The Product Recovery program starts.
Do one of the following:
If a menu is displayed giving you an opportunity to select an operating system, use the arrow keys to move to the appropriate operating system, press Enter, and then continue with the next step.
If an operating system menu is not displayed, continue with the next step.
From the Product Recovery program Main menu, make the appropriate selection (IBM Rapid Restore PC, Factory Contents, or System Utilities), and then press Enter.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
If your recovery partition is gone this company is offering a download of A21 restore disks for $19. You will need to download from them on a computer with cdrw, and then burn your recovery cd yourself.

For that you need to reset factory defaults settings for bios.
For reset bios u have to open back side of your laptop then u find motherbord circuit there.
pull cmos cell on motherbord for 15 minute then it reset to defaults.
Also u can reset with jumper settigns read carefully on mother bord there is 1 jumper near cmos cell u read there " bios reset or clear"
It is on 1-2 position right now set it in 2-3 position then power up then all bios settings are reset.
then again set it in 1-2 its original position.
First of all delete the partition that you wish to convert. This
is done by going into Disk Management: right click on My Computer > Manage > Disk Management, which is found under the
Storage section. Right click the partition you wish to remove, and click Delete
Volume This will erase the partition. Once you have done this, you must
re-create the partition. This is done by right clicking on an unallocated region
of a disk, and selecting Create Partition. Then click Create Logical Drive.
Bear in mind that Windows cannot format a FAT32 partition that is any larger
than 32GB. This is the case because FAT32 is terribly inefficient on volumes
that are larger than 32GB: fragmentation becomes a serious problem.
Or you can use partition magic software to convert it.
