[. . . ] The operating system of the PC, further application programs and backup files are located on the hard drive and reduce its total capacity. Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this may result in loss of data. Usually your hard disk is divided into more partitions, but there can also be some minor variations. Partition Drive Type Capacity (approx. ) Boot C: NTFS or FAT32 50% Backup D: NTFS or FAT32 40% Recover E: NTFS or FAT32 10% In your first partition (Boot) you will find your operating system, application programs and the users' documents and settings. The second partition (Backup) serves for data security and contains additional drivers and tools. The third partition (Recover) contains the copies of your Windows-installation in the delivery state. OPERATION 39 IMPORTANT DIRECTORIES In the following we listed the most important directories describing their contents. 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. C:\ The master directory of drive C: includes important files required to start Windows. In the factory setting these files are hidden for safety reasons. C:\Programs As the name suggests, in this directory programs install the files belonging to the application. C:\Documents and Settings This folder includes the settings and documents of all the PC users. D:\Driver This folder includes the drivers required by your computer (pre-installed). If the PC does not boot, it is possible that autostart is turned off in the BIOS or the CD is not bootable. OPERATION 43 DVD TECHNOLOGY The Compact Disc (CD) was introduced in 1982. Who could imagine doing without the CD as a storage medium for data, multimedia, computer games and video now?A CD can hold up to 700 MB of data, but that amount is too small to store a high-quality encoding of an entire feature film. The DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) has the same dimensions as a CD but stores more data at a greater density. In some cases, both sides of the DVD can be used to store information. Furthermore, each side can contain two layers of information (dual layer). Thanks to high data density, the transfer speed is considerably higher than for a CD, so that a DVD drive with 6 times speed can transfer considerably more data than a 6-speed CD drive. A DVD drive can also read both DVD-ROMs and CD-ROMs, providing the user access to an astounding amount of media.
