Problem:

The following error message appears during system boot:

SPT < Minimum

Cause:

The affected system contains partition(s) that are not aligned to cylinder boundaries, which causes the BIOS to change the geometry to invalid values.

Solution 1 of 2:

Configure the system BIOS to use its LBA Mode or Fixed Geometry setting.
