ScanDisk, a Microsoft
will determine if the improper shutdown caused any errors on the hard drive. Errors
may occur if the Microsoft Windows operating system was not able to properly close
all files before the shutdown. If no errors are found, the restart process will continue.
If ScanDisk does detect errors, follow the instructions shown to continue the restart
process. Work that was not saved prior to the lockup may be lost.
To protect your data, save and close all files and exit all programs before shutting
down your Internet PC.
CAUTION: Pressing the Power button for 4 seconds or more will completely turn off the computer
without properly shutting down Microsoft Windows. The 4-second off feature should be used only
when it is necessary to restart the computer after a system lockup. You will not be prompted to save
open files; work that you have not saved will be lost.
