Using the Hard Drive

Your computer includes a removable IDE (integrated drive electronics) hard drive. The IDE hard drive can store the data and programs your computer uses. The drive plugs into a connector on the system board.

The hard drive that comes with your computer has already been formatted. Do not format the hard drive. Doing so destroys all data contained on the drive. If you need to format a new drive, or want to erase all data on your existing hard drive, refer to the online manual for your operating system.

Removing the Hard Drive

To prevent loss of data and damage to the disk, do not remove the hard drive while the computer’s power is on and do not drop or jar the hard drive.

To remove the hard drive from the computer:

1.If you are installing a new hard drive, backup the application and data files on the old hard drive before removing it from the computer.

2.Turn the computer’s power off.

3.Close the LCD panel, and turn the computer over so that the bottom of the unit faces up.

4.Remove the screw that holds the hard drive in place.
