Reference Manual “CD/DVD Drive”
NOTE
z Regarding Windows XP
You can select the Classic view of Control Panel or the Classic Start menu. You can also change the way a user logs
on or off. This manual explains using the Windows XP default setting (not Classic view or Classic Start menu etc.).
z Windows Update
You can update to the latest patches and service packs for Windows with the following menus.
[start] - [All Programs] - [Windows Update]
Do not apply “Driver Updates” even if a message to update a driver appears. If a driver update is required,
contact your technical support office.
z If the message “Your computer might be at risk” is displayed
Select (red icon) on the notification area and make the appropriate settings. The Windows Security Center reg-
ularly gives you notice so that you can make the optimum settings. This is not an error message and you can use the
computer. However, making appropriate measures is recommended to reduce the risk of virus and other attacks.
z Internal Hard Disk
You may hear a mechanical “click” shortly after the hard disk drive indicator has turned off when there has been no
input from a key or device operation, when the computer enters the standby or hibernation mode, or when Windows
is shut down. This is the sound of the head shifting positions, to reduce power consumption or to protect the hard
disk from shocks. This sound does not indicate a malfunction.
z If you hear the sounds from CD/DVD drive
In the following situations, the motor from the CD/DVD drive can be heard.
• Immediately after the computer or CD/DVD drive is turned on
• When a CD or DVD is playing
The sounds you hear are normal operating sounds created by the motor in the CD/DVD drive operating; it is not a
malfunction.
