Hard Drive

The internal hard drive capacity is dependent
on which model you are using. See Appendix A
for model information.
Formatting the Hard Drive
The hard drive inside your notebook is format-
ted (initialized) at the factory. You do not need
to format it under normal circumstances.

If you reformat the internal hard drive ALL
data including the operating system, appli-
cations software and data will be erased.
Unless data is copied to floppy disks or
other data storage media it will be perma-
nently lost. All software will be need to be
re-installed and data files restored from
your back-up disks. See the operating sys-
tem instructions for more information on
backing-up your data files. If you have a
system that came only with Windows 95,
the factory installed software, including
the operating system can be restored from
the Recovery CD-ROM which came in
the accessories box when you purchased
your notebook. (See Restoring Your Pre-
installed Software from CD-ROM on page
116 for more information.) Any applica-
tion software which you have purchased
and installed will have to be reinstalled
from the original source. When doing a
recovery remember that you must allocate
space for the Save-to-Disk function if you
have it enabled. (See Setting Up Your
Save-To-Disk File Allocation on page 75
for more information.)
