HARD DRIVE
The internal hard drive capacity is dependent
on which model you are using. See Appendix
A (pages 182–186) or your packing label for
model information. If you are using the option-
al second hard drive for the first time since you
installed it, you can get your notebook to recog-
nize it by opening the Windows Control Panel
and opening Add New Hardware which will
step you through the process of having
Windows look for your newly installed device.
Formatting the Hard Drive
The hard drive inside your notebook is format-
ted (initialized) at the factory. You do not need
to format it under normal circumstances. If
you purchase an optional second hard drive
you will need to Fdisk and format it before you
use it the first time. Check your operating
system documentation for information on
initializing a hard drive.
C A U T I O N
If you reformat the internal hard drive
ALL data including the operating system,
applications software and data will be
erased. Unless data is copied to floppy
disks or other data storage media it will
be permanently lost. All software will be
need to be re-installed and data files
restored from your back-up disks. See
the operating system manual for more
information on backing-up your data
files. The factory installed software,
including the operating system, can be
restored from the Recovery CD-ROM
which came in the accessories box when
you purchased your notebook. (See
Restoring Your Pre-installed Software
from CD-ROM on page 174 for more
information.)
Any application software
which you have purchased and installed
will have to be re-installed from the
original source. When doing a recovery
remember that you must allocate space

If a CD-ROM is subjected to a sudden
change in temperature, cold to warm con-
densation may form on the surface. Wipe the
moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth
and let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT
use a hair dryer or heater to dry a CD-ROM.
■
If a CD-ROM is dirty, use only a CD-ROM
cleaner or wipe it with a clean, soft, lint free
cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping
to the outer edge.
