and Floppy Disk Drive Access indicators are all OFF. If you turn
off the power while accessing a disk or PC Card, there is a risk of
data loss. To ensure that your notebook computer G-MAX N411
shuts down without error, use the Windows shut down
procedure.
Turning off your notebook computer G-MAX N411 without
exiting Windows or turning on your notebook computer
G-MAX N411 within 10 seconds of the notebook being shut
down may cause an error when you start the next time.

3.6 Working with the Built-in HDD

Your notebook computer G-MAX N411 is equipped with a built-in
large capacity 2.5 inch IDE hard disk drive where you store or
install your computer operating system and all application
software programs. The internal hard disk is normally assigned
as Drive C after formatting. Sometimes divided into two
partitions, adding a Drive D. Since your notebook computer
G-MAX 411 supports different hard disk capacities (to 40 GB or
above), you also need to setup the disk type first on your
notebook computer G-MAX N411's BIOS SETUP program before
formatting the disk drive. Your notebook computer G-MAX N411
supports Auto-detect hard disk type, so you do not need to set it
manually. Your dealer should already have done all of this for you.
You can refer to Chapter 4 on how to run the BIOS SETUP
program.
You can increase the system's storage capacity by replacing the
standard hard disk drive with a drive of greater storage capacity.
If you wish to replace your hard disk, contact your local
dealer for
dealer-installable device.
Always turn off your notebook computer G-MAX N411
first before removing the hard disk drive. Failure to do
so will damage the computer and the hard disk. Avoid
jarring or moving your computer while the hard disk is
still being accessed.
