This message normally relates to norton go back corrupting the master boot record, i have had a few occasions of it, you will need to set your laptop to use the cd drive as first boot device (press F2 or Del on start up)in the advanced cmos settings, save and exit. Insert your windows cd in your drive and boot up the notebook and when prompted press enter to boot from cd and when windows installs the system files you will have a choice to press 'R' for repair or enter to install windows, if you press 'R' you will have to choose the operating system, just follow instructions and then if a password is required just press enter and then in the next prompt type 'fixmbr' and press enter, or if you choose install windows will see you have an operating system installed and ask if you want to format and install or repair system files.

CMOS Checksum Erro

This error is not the same as a CMOS Checksum Error, which refers to corrupted values of the CMOS settings, the ones you set through the BIOS setup program. This error means the contents of the BIOS code itself are damaged.

During the boot process you will see on the screen a certain key to press to enter setup
Press and hold that key during the boot up process to enter BIOS you can load failsafe defaults or load optimized defaults ,press escape then press f10 to save to cmos to restart
You will also need to set the time and date

In the main or system setup screen you should be able to see the date and time Using your arrow keys navigate to the date and change the date. Once highlighted on the month, day, or year, press your arrow keys or your page up / page down keys to change the date.
hope this helps you

Resetting the Ink Waste Absorber Error Message

Below Works with most Canon Range of printers.
By using this tool you can reset the waste tank counter and can sometimes reset the ink level monitors.I have included two procedures.

Method 1 1. Turn off printer
2. Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
3. Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
4. Press Resume button 2 times then let BOTH buttons go.
5. Green lights will flash and then stop blinking.
6. When green lights are solid, press the Resume button 4 times.
7. Press the Power button and the printer should turn off, if not,
press the Power button once more.
8. Your printer should respond as normal..

Method 2 First you need this tool : http://www.ziddu.com/download/14685220/PCM_servicetool.rar.html
Then the following steps: Step 1: enter in service mode in order to use the resetter:

Turn off the printer without pulling the power cords.
Hold down Resume button and press Power button.
Keep holding down Power button and let Resume button go.
Then Press Resume button 5 times then let both buttons go.
The Alternate Blinking error is gone: the printer is in Service Mode state.

Step 2:
Extract the resetter and double click "servicetool.exe"

Click Reload Button and you will get a new USB port.
Load some papers in your printer and press the "Main" Button, wait until it shows "error 001" then press OK.
Then press "EEPROM" button and the printer will print some text, after that click OK
Then power off the printer (sometimes you have to press twice the power button to turn off) and turn on again.
That's done.

I hope this helps anyone who has a issue with the Error codes. You can usually reset it 2 times before it will actually overflow. It can also assist in re-setting error codes

RegardsGM

Windows will not load up white acer screen comes up then 2 beeps and white writing on black screen shows various errors

Use the windows CD if you have it.

Start the computer and enter the BIOS menu. Change the 'boot priority' or 'boot order so that the CD drive is before the HDD. Save your settings and restart the computer.

Enter the windows CD and press a key when prompted to load from the CD. Windows has a series of utilities that may (or may not) assist you in sorting the various error messages that appear on your computer when booting.

I hope this solves your problem : - )
