Using the Drives

Your computer has three different drives; the internal hard disk drive, the CD-RW

drive unit, and the floppy disk drive unit. The CD-RW and floppy disk drive unit can

be installed in the unit bay on the right side of the computer. If you want to use the

CD-RW and the floppy disk drive at the same time, you can install the CD-RW drive

in the unit bay, and use the floppy disk drive as an external component connected to

your computer through the parallel/FDD port on the back of the computer. The

floppy disk drive has an optional box (CE-FC02) to use the drive externally.

Drive Properties

You can learn about the properties of the drives by double-clicking the

My Computer

icon on the Windows desktop. In the

My Computer

window, right click on any of the

drives and select

Properties

from the drop down menu to display the capacity of the

drive, and other information.

Hard disk drive

Your computer has a high-capacity hard disk drive installed internally. Your

computer identifies the hard disk drive as drive C:. The hard disk is pre-installed

with the Windows Me operating system and the software and drivers required to run

all the components of your computer.

When you install software applications and use them to create files and documents,

you store them in folders on the hard disk drive. You can use

Windows

Explorer

create new folders and sub-folders and navigate and maintain the folders and files

that are stored on the hard disk.

If your hard disk drive ever gets corrupted, you can use the Recovery CD to recreate

the state of the hard disk drive when it was first shipped. However, you will lose any

files that you have subsequently created unless you have backed them up to another

storage device.

For information on using the Recovery CD, see

Re-installation
