Drive care
Drives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following cautions before handling drives. Additional cautions are included with the procedures to which they apply. CAUTION To reduce the risk of damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of information, observe these precautions: Initiate standby, and allow the screen to clear, before you move a computer or external hard drive from one location to another. Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching the unpainted metal surface of the drive. Do not touch the connector pins on a removable drive or on the computer. Handle a drive carefully; do not drop a drive or place items on it. Before removing or inserting a drive, shut down the computer. If you are unsure whether the computer is off or in hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it down through the operating system. Do not use excessive force when inserting a drive into a drive bay. Do not type on the keyboard or move the computer while the optical drive is writing to a disc. The write process is sensitive to vibration. When the battery is the only source of power, ensure that the battery is sufficiently charged before writing to a medium. Avoid exposing a drive to temperature or humidity extremes. Avoid exposing a drive to liquids. Do not spray it with cleaning products. Remove the medium from a drive before removing the drive from the drive bay, or traveling with, shipping, or storing a drive. If a drive must be mailed, place the drive in a bubble-pack mailer or other suitable protective packaging and label the package "FRAGILE." Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airport walk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-on luggage, such as conveyor belts, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a drive.

Replacing the primary hard drive
CAUTION To prevent system lockup and loss of information: Shut down the computer before removing the hard drive from the hard drive bay. Do not remove the hard drive while the computer is on, in standby, or in hibernation. If you are not sure whether the computer is off or in hibernation, turn the computer on by pressing the power button. Then shut down the computer through the operating system. NOTE You computer may look slightly different from the illustrations in this section. To remove the primary hard drive: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Save your work. Shut down the computer and close the display. Disconnect all external devices connected to the computer. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet. Turn the computer upside down on a flat surface. Remove the battery from the computer. With the hard drive bay toward you, loosen the 2 hard drive cover screws (1).

Gently press the hard drive down until it snaps into place.
3. 4. 5.
Align the tabs (1) on the hard drive cover with the notches on the computer. Close the cover (2). Tighten the hard drive cover screws (3).
Using a secondary hard drive (select models only)
The computer may be equipped with an optional secondary hard drive bay. This bay may be empty or occupied by a secondary hard drive. NOTE Do not install a secondary hard drive unless the computer is configured to support a secondary hard drive. A secondary hard drive is designed to store personal files, music, multimedia, or graphics. It is not configured as a bootable device. On models with a secondary hard drive (drive D), the optical drive becomes drive E. The next drive added to the system, such as a new USB or digital device, will be assigned the next available drive letter.
To view your hard drives, select Start > My Computer.

Optical drives
An optical drive, such as a DVD-ROM drive, supports optical discs (CDs and DVDs). These discs are used to store or transport information and to play music and movies. DVDs have a higher capacity than CDs. The computer can read or write to optical drives as described in the following table.
Type of Optical Drive Read CD and DVD-ROM Yes Yes Yes Write to CD-RW Write to DVD ±RW/R No Yes Yes Write to DVD+R DL No Yes Yes

Avoiding standby or hibernation
CAUTION To prevent possible audio and video degradation, or loss of audio or video playback functionality, do not initiate standby or hibernation while reading or writing to a CD or DVD. To prevent loss of information, do not initiate standby or hibernation when writing to a CD or DVD. If standby or hibernation is accidentally initiated during playback of a disc: Your playback may be interrupted. You may see the following warning: "Putting the computer into hibernation or standby may stop the playback. Do you want to continue?" Click No. You may need to restart the CD or DVD to resume audio and video playback.
