The Hard Disk Drive (HDD)
Your computer features a removable, shock-mounted hard disk to provide high-capacity storage and fast access. The operating
system and most programs are stored here. Your computer identifies the hard disk drive as drive C. You can do a one-time
configuration of your hard disk space through the HDD Space Setup Wizard. The Wizard can run when it is convenient for you;
however, should be run after first start-up.
See the BIOS Setup Utility to password protect your removable hard disk drive.
