All power has been turned off from the notebook. This means that no power

including external AC power source and battery power source will be consume

by the notebook.

3.6 Working with the Built-in HDD

Your notebook computer is equipped with a built-in large capacity 2.5 inch

IDE hard disk drive where you store or install your computer operating system

and all application software programs. You need to format the hard disk before

using. The internal hard disk is normally assigned as Drive C after formatting.

Sometimes divided into two partitions, adding a Drive D. Since your computer

supports different hard disk capacities (up to 80 GB), you also need to setup

the disk type first on your computer’s BIOS SETUP program before

formatting the disk drive. Your computer supports Auto-detect hard disk type,

so you do not need to set it manually. Your dealer should already have done all

of this for you. You can refer to Chapter 6 on how to run the BIOS SETUP

program.

You can increase the system’s storage capacity by replacing the standard hard

disk drive with a drive of greater storage capacity.

If you wish to replace your hard disk, contact your local dealer for more

information about this dealer-installable device.

Always turn off your computer first before removing the hard disk drive.

Failure to do so will damage the computer and the hard disk. Avoid jarring

or moving the computer while the hard disk is still being accessed.
