LifeBook E Series – Section 4
Hard Disk Drive
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook hard disk drive capacity
is dependent on which model you are using. Some Life-
Book notebooks may also contain a removable hard disk
drive in addition to the internal hard disk drive. (See
Specifications on page 79 for more information)
FORMATTING THE HARD DISK DRIVE
The internal hard disk drive is formatted, or initialized,
at the factory. You do not need to format it under
normal circumstances. If you decide to reformat due to
corruption or upgrade, please refer to your operating
system documentation for the correct procedure.
Before you reformat your hard disk drive, please note:
■
Any data that currently resides on your hard disk drive
must be backed-up to floppy disks or other data
storage media, or it will be permanently lost. These
back-up disks can then be used to reinstall and restore
your data. (See your operating system manual for more
information on backing-up your data files)
■
All application software that is installed on the
hard disk drive, must be reinstalled from the
original source.
■
The factory-installed software, including the operating
system, can be restored using the Drive Image Special
Edition (DISE) software that came with your LifeBook
notebook (See Drive Image Special Edition (DISE) on
page 70 for more information).
WARNING
Reformatting the hard disk drive will erase all of the
data currently stored on it, including the operating
system and installed programs.
