[. . . ] You can also perform a direct click or double click using the touch pad by tapping the surface briefly once or twice. ® In the Windows Control Panel you will find a number of useful settings that will make using the touch pad easier. Data Entry - 39 - Appendix Aid Components Handling Safety Touch Pad 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. Whenever the computer is accessing the hard disk, the corresponding LED illuminates. Never switch off the computer while the busy indicator is lit since this may result in loss of data. 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. 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 - 40 - The Hard drive The most important directories preinstalled on your notebook are shown below. 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. Remove the disc and restart the notebook. Playing Back and Retrieving Data from Discs Your notebook is able to playback and to retrieve Audio CDs, DVD Movies and Data discs. After loading the disc your operating system will open a selection window with different options for playback. If your operating system doesn't open the selection window you still have the possibility of the access via the "Explorer" or "Computer". - 44 - The Optical Drive The playback of DVD movies includes the decoding of MPEG2 videos, digital AC3 audio data and the deciphering of CSS protected contents. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name of a data protection program incorporated by the movie industry as an action against illegal copies. Among the numerous regulations for CSS licensees the most important ones are the country specific playback restrictions. In order to facilitate the geographically restricted release of movies, DVD titles are released for certain regions. Copyright laws require the restriction of each DVD movie to a certain region (usually the region, in which it is sold). DVD movie versions can be published in several regions but the CSS regulations require that each CSS decipherable system may only be used in one region. Note The decoding software included with your Notebook may be changed for regional DVD decoding up to five times, after which the drive will only play DVD movies for the region setting last entered. Changing the region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be billed to the user.
