Care of CDs

CDs are precision devices and will function reliably if given reasonable care.

■Always store your disk in its case when it is not in use.

■When removing the disk from its case, press down on the holder’s center while lifting out the disk by its edges.

■Always handle a disk by the edges and avoid touching the surface.

■Avoid storing any disk in extreme temperatures.

■Do not bend disks or set heavy objects on them.

■Never write on the label surface with a ball point pen, pencil or similar device.

■If a disk is subjected to a sudden change from cold to warm, condensation may form on the surface. Wipe the moisture off with a clean, soft, lint free cloth and then let it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a hair dryer or heater to dry a disk.

■If a disk is dirty, use only a CD-ROM cleaner or wipe it with a clean,soft,lint free cloth starting from the inner edge and wiping to the outer edge.

HARD DRIVE

The internal hard drive capacity is dependent on which model you are using. See Appendix A (pages 176–180)for model information. If you are using the optional modular hard drive for the first time since you installed it, you can get your notebook to recognize it by opening the Windows 95 Control Panel and running Add

New Hardware which will step you through the process of looking for your newly installed device.

Formatting the Hard Drive

The hard drive inside your notebook is format- ted (initialized) at the factory. You do not need to format it under normal circumstances. If you purchase an optional second hard drive you will need to format it the first time you use it. Check your operating system documentation for information on initializing a hard drive.

C A U T I O N

Formatting the optional second hard drive after data has been stored on it will cause all data to be erased.
