Data Entry - 39 - Appendix Aid Components Handling Safety Touch Pad The Hard drive The hard drive is the main storage medium combining large storage capacity and rapid data access. 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 hard drive contains the operating system of the computer, other application programs and backup files. These programs and files are pre-installed on your notebook, so you may note that some of the space on your hard drive is already taken. Whenever the computer is accessing the hard disk, the corresponding LED illuminates. Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this may result in loss of data. If you are looking for a file on the hard drive and you know the name, go to Search on the Start menu to find the file. Following is some general information on where you might find some common files. Usually your hard drive is divided into several partitions, as shown below. BOOT C: Windows Software programs Your documents RECOVER D: Drivers for internal Notebook components Installation files for software that came with your Notebook Restore software - 40 - The Hard drive The most important directories preinstalled on your notebook are shown below.
