Using the Hard Drive

You can store computer operating files,
applications, data, Internet files, and personal
files on your hard drive.
As you create and save files, download
information from the Internet, install applications,
or receive e-mail messages and attachments, your
hard drive storage space diminishes. The amount
of information you can store on your computer's
hard drive depends on the size of the drive,
so you may want to check the available space
before installing an application or copying a
large amount of data.
