Hard Drive; Cd-Rom Drive - HP Compaq 100 Reference Manual

Hard Drive

Your notebook comes with a hard drive designated as drive C. A hard drive,
also called a fixed disk, is a storage device with non-removable, rotating,
magnetic storage platters. Compared with a diskette, a hard drive can retrieve
and record data much faster and has a much larger storage capacity.
.
CAUTION:
1. To avoid unexpected data loss caused by viruses or accidents,
regularly backup your files from the hard drive to diskettes.
2. Never turn off or reset the notebook while the hard drive in-use
indicator is on. In addition to possible data loss, the system and the
hard drive's sensitive circuitry may be damaged.

CD-ROM Drive

Your notebook comes with a CD-ROM drive, which uses removable 5.25-inch
compact disks that look like standard music CD-ROMs. The compact disk is an
ideal medium for data storage or multimedia program because of its huge
amount of data capacity.
Inserting/Removing a CD-ROM
CAUTION:
1. When inserting a CD-ROM, gently insert it into the CD-ROM drive.
2. Make sure the CD-ROM is correctly inserted into the tray, then close
the tray.
3. Do not leave the CD-ROM tray open. Moreover, avoid touching the
lens in the tray with your hand. If the lens becomes dirty, the CD-ROM
may malfunction.
4. Do not wipe the lens with rough surfaced materials (such as paper
towel). Instead, use a cotton swab to wipe the lens gently.
FDA regulations require the following statement for all laser-based devices:
