On Handling the Hard Disk
The hard disk has a high storage density and reads or writes data in a short time. On
the other hand, it may be easily damaged by mechanical vibration, shock or dust.
Keep the hard disk away from magnets.
Although the hard disk has the safety device in itself to prevent losing data due to
mechanical vibration, shock or dust, you should be careful to handle your computer.
Avoid damaging data:
Do not give a shock to your computer.

Do not place your computer in a location subject to mechanical vibration or in

unstable situation.
Do not move your computer while the power is on.

Do not turn off the power or restart the computer while reading or writing data.

Do not use your computer in a place subject to extreme change of temperature.

If the hard disk is damaged, the data can not be restored.

Back up data
As you may lose important data once your computer is damaged, you should back up
your data regularly.
About the application programs, you can get the original from the CD-ROM or the
floppy disk.
See the Windows® 98 help for more information on back-up data.
