Freeing Up Space on

Your Hard Disk Drive

The PC comes with a hard disk drive.

Depending on your model, the hard disk drive

has 20 gigabytes (GB) to more than 160 GB of

total disk space. The PC comes with preloaded

software programs and a partition within the

hard disk drive that takes up a certain amount

of space on the hard disk drive.

Note:

The system recovery image is in a partition area

of the hard drive; this disk space is not available

for your use.

The partition:

■

Houses a backup version of the operating

system and the programs included with the PC.

■

Takes up about 5 GB of hard disk space,

reducing the total amount of space available

for your use.

Use the following procedures to:

■

View the amount of used and free disk space

by using the System Tools Disk Management.

■

Uninstall unwanted programs.

■

Use the Disk Cleanup utility.

■

Reinstall programs that came with the PC.
