Hard Disk Drive

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook hard disk drive capacity is dependent on which model you are using. Some Life- Book notebooks may also contain a second hard disk drive in addition to the primary hard disk drive.

(See Specifications on page 71 for more information)

FORMATTING THE HARD DISK DRIVE

The internal hard disk drive is formatted, or initialized, at the factory. You do not need to format it under normal circumstances. If you decide to reformat due to corruption or upgrade, please refer to your operating system documentation for the correct procedure.

You should not reformat your hard disk unless you are instructed to do so by Technical Support. Reformatting the hard disk drive will erase all of the data currently stored on it, including the operating system and installed programs.

Before you reformat your hard disk drive, please note:

■Any data that currently resides on your hard disk drive must be backed-up to floppy disks or other data storage media, or it will be permanently lost. These back-up disks can then be used to reinstall and restore your data. (See your operating system manual for more information on backing-up your data files)

■All application software that is installed on the hard disk drive, must be reinstalled from the original source.
