Information

about

hard
disk

capacity

Instead
of
providing
a
recovery
CD
or
a
Windows
®
CD
with
your
computer,
IBM
provides
simpler
methods
of
accomplishing
the
tasks
typically
associated
with
these
CDs.
The
files
and
programs
for
these
alternative
methods
are
on
your
hard
disk,
which
eliminates
having
to
locate
misplaced
CDs
and
problems
associated
with
using
an
incorrect
CD
version.
The
complete
backup
of
all
the
files
and
programs
that
IBM
preinstalled
on
your
computer
resides
in
a
hidden
section,
or
partition,
of
the
hard
disk.
Although
hidden,
the
backups
in
the
partition
consume
hard
disk
space.
Therefore,
when
checking
the
capacity
of
your
hard
disk
according
to
Windows
you
might
note
that
the
total
capacity
of
the
disk
appears
to
be
smaller
than
anticipated.
This
discrepancy
is
explained
by
the
contents
of
the
hidden
partition.
(See
“Recovering
pre-installed
software”
on
page
32.)
For
more
information
about
recovering
your
hard
disk
to
the
original
preinstalled
contents
refer
to
your
on-system
help
source,
Access
IBM.
Press
the
blue
Access
IBM
button
or
click
the
Access
IBM
icon
on
your
desktop,
and
then
browse
the
Learn
section
for
various
topics
that
cover
backing
up
and
recovering.
