Information about hard disk capacity
The ThinkPad
®
R50 Series computer complies with the radio frequency and safety standards of any
country or region in which it has been approved for wireless use. You are requested to install and use
your ThinkPad computer in strict accordance with the local RF regulations. Before you use the ThinkPad
R50 Series computer, please find and read
Regulatory Notice for ThinkPad R50 Series
, the notice that
supplements this Service and Troubleshooting Guide. The notice is included in the package with this
publication.
Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows
®
CD with your computer, IBM
®
provides simpler
methods of accomplishing the tasks typically associated with these CDs. The files and programs for
these alternative methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate misplaced CDs and
problems associated with using an incorrect CD version.
The complete backup of all the files and programs that IBM preinstalled on your computer resides in a
hidden section, or partition, of the hard disk. Although hidden, the backups in the partition consume
hard disk space. Therefore, when checking the capacity of your hard disk according to Windows, you
might note that the total capacity of the disk appears to be smaller than anticipated. This discrepancy is
explained by the contents of the hidden partition. (See “Recovering pre-installed software” on page 31.)
For more information about recovering your hard disk to the original preinstalled contents, refer to your
on-system help source, Access IBM. Press the blue Access IBM button or click the Access IBM icon on
your desktop, and then browse the Learn section for various topics that cover backing up and
recovering.
