Using the Hard Drive

Your computer includes a removable IDE (integrated drive electronics) hard drive. The
IDE hard drive can store the data and programs your computer uses. The drive plugs
into a connector on the system board.

1. If you are installing a new hard drive, backup the application and data files on the
old hard drive before removing it from the computer.
2. Turn the computer's power off.
3. Close the LCD panel, and turn the computer over so that the bottom of the unit

5. Pull the hard drive out of the computer.
The hard drive that comes with your computer has already been formatted. Do
not format the hard drive. Doing so destroys all data contained on the drive. If
you need to format a new drive, or want to erase all data on your existing hard
drive, refer to the online manual for your operating system.
To prevent loss of data and damage to the disk, do not remove the hard drive
while the computer's power is on and do not drop or jar the hard drive.
