Appendix Aid ComponentsHandling Safety Data Entry 39 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. 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. The partitions of your hard drive may vary from what is shown here. 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 The Hard drive Important Directories The most important directories preinstalled on your notebook are shown below. These directories may vary from what is shown here. Warning! Do not delete or modify these directories or their contents since data could be lost or the functionality of the system could be at risk. Also pay attention to this: You will no longer be able to carry out the recreation of the supply status by means of the Support Disc (.. p. 84), if you have converted the Recovery Partition into a NTFS file system. C:\ This is the main hard disk drive partition for your notebook. It is where your program files, settings, and documents are stored, as well as files necessary for running Windows.
