Operating Your Computer 2-15
Using the Hard Disk Drive
Your computer comes with a removable hard disk drive as drive C. A hard
disk drive is a storage device with non-removable, rotating, magnetic
storage platters inside it. It is where your operating system and
application software programs are stored.
Your hard disk drive is a 2.5-inch SATA (serial ATA) hard disk drive.
This type of drive embodies the latest in fast, reliable mass storage by
integrating all the control circuitry necessary for operation directly onto
the drive itself.
CAUTION:
z Make regular backups of your data files from your hard disk drive to USB flash disks
or other storage media.
z Never try to remove or install the hard disk drive while the computer is powered on.
Doing so can result in loss of data, and can damage the computer and the hard disk
drive’s sensitive circuitry.
z Never turn off or reset the computer while the hard disk drive in-use indicator is on.
