Caution
About data on the hard disk drive:
Be sure to take appropriate measures not to leak important data
(e.g., customers' information or companies' management infor-
mation) on the removed hard disk drive to any third parties.
Data seems to be erased when you empty the Windows "Recy-
cle Bin" or execute the "format" command of the operating sys-
tem. However, the actual data remains written on the hard disk
drive, and can be restored by special software and used for
unexpected purposes.
