The Hard Drive

The hard drive is the main storage medium combining large storage capacity and rapid

data access.

The hard drive contains the operating system of the computer, other application pro-

grams and backup files. These programs and files are pre-installed on your All-In-One

PC, so you may note that some of the space on your hard drive is already taken.

The Windows operating system cannot use the full capacity of the hard drive, which

means that there will be a difference between the capacity that the BIOS displays and

what the operating system displays. The operating system of the All-In-One PC, further

application programs and backup files are located on the hard drive and reduce its

total capacity.

The hard drive is addressed as drive C and D.

Note

Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this

may result in loss of data. A flickering hard drive display is your indication

that the All-In-One PC is accessing the hard drive.

Usually your hard disk is divided into more partitions. The configuration of your hard

drive can be displayed and configured under "Disk Management". To familiarise your-

self with the hard drive configuration, search Windows Help for the key word "Disk

Management".

In your first partition (C:\) you will find the operating system, application programs

and the users’ documents.

The second partition (D:\) serves for data security and contains additional drivers

(D:\Driver) and tools (D:\Tools) for your All-In-One PC.

Note

You will also find in two otherwise non-overwriteable partitions the sys-

tem restoration start files ( p. 77), as well as installation files for Win-

dows® 7. These partitions are not visible and should not be erased.
