Yesterday, when I tried to boot my ps/2 model 30, which has a 20 
megabyte harddisk, I kept receiving this message:
        01024 KB OK
           163
 and then function keys 1 to 10 appears on the bottom of the 
screen, and the F1 key was blinking all the time.  
Does anybody knows what is the problem with my computer and 
how to fix it? (Please pardon me for my ignorance.)

In addition, when I use the chkdsk function to check my harddisk, 
the following message appears: 
	2 lost allocation units found in 2 chains
        Convert lost chains to files (Y/N)?
What does this means???

Please help me.  Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. :)
