Working with the Built-in HDD

Your notebook computer is equipped with a built-in large capacity 2.5 inch IDE
hard disk drive where you store or install your computer operating system and all
application software programs. You need to format the hard disk before using.
The internal hard disk is normally assigned as Drive C after formatting.
Sometimes divided into two partitions, adding a Drive D. Since your computer
supports different hard disk capacities (to 40 GB or above), you also need to
setup the disk type first on your computer's BIOS SETUP program before
formatting the disk drive. Your computer supports Auto-detect hard disk type,
so you do not need to set it manually. Your dealer should already have done all
of this for you. You can refer to Chapter 6 on how to run the BIOS SETUP
program.
