2 Handling drivesDrives are fragile computer components that must be handled with care. Refer to the following cautionsbefore 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 ofinformation, observe these precautions:Before you move a computer or external hard drive from one location to another, initiate Sleep,and allow the screen to clear.Before handling a drive, discharge static electricity by touching the unpainted metal surface ofthe 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 thecomputer is off, in the Sleep state, or in hibernation, turn the computer on, and then shut it downthrough 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. Thewrite process is sensitive to vibration.When the battery is the only source of power, be sure that the battery is sufficiently chargedbefore writing to a medium.Avoid exposing a drive to temperature or humidity extremes.Avoid exposing a drive to liquids. Do not spray the drive 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 protectivepackaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fields. Security devices with magnetic fields include airportwalk-through devices and security wands. The airport security devices that check carry-onluggage, such as conveyor belts, use x-rays instead of magnetism and will not damage a drive.2 Chapter 2 Handling drives ENWWAntenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/Vista textVista text
3 Optical drivesAn optical drive, such as a DVD-ROM drive, supports optical discs (CDs and DVDs). These discs storeor transport information and play music and movies. DVDs have a higher storage capacity than CDs.Optical drives can read from and select models can write to optical media as described in the followingtable.Optical drivetypeRead CD andDVD-ROMmediaWrite to CD-RW mediaWrite to DVD±RW/R mediaWrite to DVD+RW DL mediaWrite label toLightScribeCD or DVD±RW/RWrite to DVD-RAM mediaDVD-ROMDriveYes No No No No NoDVD±RW/Rand CD-RWCombo DriveYes Yes Yes No No NoDVD±RW/Rand CD-RWCombo Drivewith Double-Layer supportYes Yes Yes Yes No YesLightScribeDVD±RW/Rand CD-RWCombo Drivewith Double-Layer supportYes Yes Yes Yes Yes YesNOTE Some of the optical drives listed may not be supported by your computer. The listed drivesare not necessarily all of the supported optical drives. CAUTION To prevent possible audio and video degradation, loss of information, or loss of audioor video playback functionality, do not initiate Sleep or hibernation while reading or writing to aCD or DVD.ENWW 3Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/Vista textIs this correct for Sputnik?
If Sleep or hibernation is accidentally initiated during playback of a disc, you may experience thefollowing behaviors:●Your playback may be interrupted.●You may see the following warning: “Putting the computer into hibernation or standby may stopthe playback. Do you want to continue?” Click No.●You may need to restart the CD or DVD to resume audio and video playback.4 Chapter 3 Optical drives ENWWAntenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/This warning text may change for VistaVista text

4 Improving hard drive performanceUsing Disk DefragmenterAs you use the computer, files on the hard drive become fragmented. Disk Defragmenter consolidatesthe fragmented files and folders on the hard drive so that it can run more efficiently.To run Disk Defragmenter:1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.2. Click a volume for the hard drive you want to defragment, usually listed as (C:), and then clickDefragment.For additional information, access the Disk Defragmenter online Help.Using Disk CleanupDisk Cleanup searches the hard drive for unnecessary files that you can safely delete to free up diskspace and help the computer to run more efficiently.To run Disk Cleanup:1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup.2. Follow the on-screen instructions.8 Chapter 4 Improving hard drive performance ENWWAntenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/These two sections may change for Vista
5 Replacing the hard driveCAUTION To prevent information loss or an unresponsive system:Shut down the computer before removing the hard drive from the hard drive bay.
