Hi.

I tried to setting ibm 5170's mfm hard,but failed. i set machine as attached setting and run with ibm pc-dos 3.0.

and i've seen massage 162-system options not set-(run setup) (resume = "f1" key),
and i pressed f1 key.

and i just press enter when input date and time.

so,when i run fdisk, but machine says "no fixed disks present" and i can't progress...

i clearly set hard disk in config...

is it problem of system option setup?

Yes, you need to run setup on the AT diagnostics disc and configure the hard drive there.
