Hard Disk
You must format a new diskette before
storing information on it. Use the MS-DOS FORMAT
command. See your MS-DOS documentation for in-
formation about formatting a diskette.
CAUTION: Do not format your hard disk
drive, this will erase all preinstalled applications.
To remove a diskette from the diskette drive, press the
release button on the 3 1/2-inch drive.
CAUTION: Do not remove a diskette
from the diskette drive when the diskette drive lamp
is lit. To do so can damage both the data on the
diskette and the drive.
Do not turn off the system power while the diskette is
being accessed.
Do not reset the system (except as a last resort)
when the diskette drive is in use.
Your computer supports up to four intelligent drive
electronics (IDE) devices. A 3 1/2-inch, IDE hard
disk comes standard in hard disk configurations. The hard
disk is assigned as drive C in your system and is selected
as the master device on the system board's primary
PCI/IDE connector.
The hard disk drive in your system is formatted and the
applications have been installed for you.
