Appendix
To disable the hard disk backup function
Perform the reinstallation procedure. All data in the backup area and the hard disk will be erased.
Conduct steps 1-8 for [Reinstalling Software] ( page 34). Select [1] or [2] to execute the
reinstallation at the screen for executing the reinstallation.
• When [1] is selected, the hard disk backup function can be disabled.
• When [2] is selected, the hard disk backup function can be disabled, but in this case, because
the hard disk has been divided into partitions, the hard disk backup function cannot be re-
enabled ( page 26).
• When [3] is selected, the hard disk backup function cannot be disabled.
CAUTION
When the hard disk backup function has been enabled, the backed up data will not be erased
even if a commercial data erasing utility or similar software is used to erase all data from
user-accessible area. You can use the hard disk data erase utility included in this computer
( page 42) to erase all data on the hard disk, including backed up data. Use this hard disk
data erase utility before disposing of or transferring ownership of this computer.
Occasionally, the message [#1805 cannot write image file] will be displayed, and the backup
function will be interrupted. If this error occurs, execute the backup function again. After
this, if the backup function is completed properly, then there is no problem in the hard disk.
4When the message [[Backup] is complete] or [[Restore] is complete] is displayed, press
Ctrl Alt Del to restart the computer.
• If the backup or restore process was interrupted before completion, for example if the power
was turned off, execute the process again.
• When a new device is installed and a message appears advising that the computer must be
restarted to enable the settings, select [Yes] to restart the computer.
