5.After the system reboots, follow the instructions that appear to either restore your system image or erase all data from your hard disk.

USING THE SHOCK SENSOR UTILITY

The Shock Sensor Utility is designed to decrease the risk of damage to the computer's hard disk drive (HDD) in the event of excessive impact or vibration. The Shock Sensor Utility also has the ability to improve the security of the computer by automatically locking the computer with a password when it is carried. Note that the HDD protection and computer locking features are mutually exclusive; both cannot be selected at the same time.

■Shock Sensor Utility does not completely protect the HDD and does not provide absolute security for the computer.

■ The computer may stop temporarily while the HDD head is retracted. To restart the computer, keep the system horizontal.

1.Double-click the Shock Sensor Utility icon in the Notification Area at the bottom-right of the screen. The [Shock Sensor Utility] window appears.

2.Click the [Setting] button. The [Shock Sensor Utility Settings] window appears.

■Protect HDD from impact. HDD head is retracted when an impact to the computer is detected.

■Lock computer when carried. Lock the computer when it is being carried.

■Nothing. No action.
