Data save in Hibernation Mode

When you turn off the power in Hibernation Mode, the computer takes a
moment to save current memory data to the hard disk. During this time, the
HDD indicator will light.
After you turn off the computer, and the content of memory has been saved
to the hard disk, turn off the power to any peripheral devices.
Restarting the computer
Certain conditions require that you reset the system. For example, if:
■You change certain computer settings.
■An error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard
commands.
■There are three ways to reset the computer system:
1. Click start then click Turn off computer. From the Turn off
computer menu select Restart.
2. Press Ctrl + Alt + Del to display the Windows Task Manager, then
select Shut Down and Restart.
3. Press the power button and hold it down for five seconds. Wait 10 to 15
seconds, then turn the power on again by pressing the power button.
Create Optical Recovery Discs
A recovery image of your computer is stored on the hard disk. You may use
this image to create CD or DVD recovery discs using the following steps:
1. Select either blank CDs or DVD media.
2. The application will allow you to choose a type of media to create
recovery CDs/DVD including: CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-R, DVD-R DL,
DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL and DVD+RW.
3. Turn on your computer without a PC card storage device such as HDD
to open Windows XP.
4. Insert the (first) blank media into the tray of the optical disk drive.
5. Double click the Recovery Disc Creator Launcher icon on the Windows
XP desktop, or select the application from start Menu.
6. After Recovery Disc Creator starts, select the type of media and the title
you wish to copy to the media then click the Burn button.
Do not turn the computer or devices back on immediately. Wait a moment
to let all capacitors fully discharge.
Some media may not be compatible with the optical disk drive of your
computer. Please verify your optical disk drive supports the blank media
you choose.
