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

(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. 79), as well as installation files for Win-
dows® 7. These partitions are not visible and should not be erased.
