Getting Started 3–3
Using the PC
■ To remove a diskette, press the Eject button 1
on the diskette drive.
Remove the diskette from the drive prior to shutting
down Microsoft Windows.
Using the Hard Disk Drive
As you create and save files, download
information from the Internet, install applications,
or receive e-mail messages and attachments, your
hard disk drive storage space diminishes. The
amount of information you can store on your PC’s
hard disk drive depends on the size of the drive.
The PC comes with a hard disk drive that is
preloaded with software programs and a partition
within the hard disk drive that takes up a certain
amount of space on the hard disk drive.
CAUTION: Wait until the diskette drive
activity is complete (the activity light 2 stops
glowing) before removing a diskette.
Removing a diskette when the drive is
reading from or writing to the diskette
can damage the diskette or the information
stored on it.
The system recovery image is in a partition
area of the hard disk drive; this disk space
is not available for your use.
