9. The Hard Drive
The hard drive is your main memory medium and combines high storage capacity
with rapid data access. You Notebook is supplied with an OEM version
*
* of the
Microsoft Windows
®
8 operating system which supports all of the Notebook’s
performance features. We have configured your Notebook’s hard drive so that you
will be able to work with it optimally without having to install any additional drivers
yourself. The Windows
®
8 operating system requires part of the capacity to manage
the hard drive therefore the hard drive’s full capacity is not available. This explains
any differences between the UEFI firmware configuration and the operating system
display. The Notebook’s operating system, other applications and security data are
located on the hard drive meaning that the full capacity is already reduced.
The first partition (
C:\
) contains the operating system, the applications and the
“Documents” folder for the configured user.
The second partition (D:\) is used for the data backup and also contains drivers
(
D:\Drivers)
and utilities (
D:\Tools)
for your Notebook.
CAUTION!
The startup files for system restoration „Resetting the Notebook
to its Factory Settings“ and the Windows
®
8 installation files are
located in non-rewritable partitions. These partitions cannot
be deleted.
