If the hard disk drive gets too full, Windows® will slow down and might produce errors.2Empty your recycle bin on a regular basis.3Use the Microsoft Disk Defragmenter on your hard disk drive on a regular basis to improve data seek and read time. To free up disk space, uninstall unused application programs.Note:You might also want to look for application program duplication or overlapping versions.Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client program.At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup. Lenovo has many backup options available for your computer. CD-RW drives or CD-RW/DVD drives are available for most computers and are easily installed.Use or schedule System Restore to take a system snapshot periodically.Y550P UG V1.0_en.book Page 89 Monday, July 13, 2009 11:36 AM
90Chapter 7. Safety, Use and Care InformationNote:Always take a system snapshot before installing new drivers, updating software, or installing new software.Update device drivers and BIOS when needed.Profile your machine at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com to keep up to date with current drivers and revisions.Keep up to date on device drivers on other non-Lenovo hardware. You might want to read the device driver information release notes prior to updating for compatibility or known issues.Keep a log book. Entries might include major hardware or software changes, driver updates, minor issues you have experienced and how you resolved them.If you ever need to run a recovery operation on your computer to return the contents of the hard disk to the factory-installed state, the following tips might help along the way:Remove all external devices such as the printer, keyboard, and so on.Make sure that the battery is charged and that you have the AC adapter connected.Boot into the BIOS and load the default settings.Turn off the computer and start the recovery process.If your computer uses discs as the recovery media, do not remove the disc from the drive until you are prompted to do so.Y550P UG V1.0_en.book Page 90 Monday, July 13, 2009 11:36 AM
Chapter 7. Safety, Use and Care Information91If required, you can find your country’s Customer Support Center at the following Web address: http://consumersupport.lenovo.com. When calling the Customer Support Center, please make sure you have your machine type, model, and serial number available and the computer is in front of you. Also, if the machine is producing error codes, it is helpful to have the error screen on or the message written down.Device drivers are programs that contain instructions for the operating system about how to operate or “drive” a certain piece of hardware. Each hardware component on your computer has its own specific driver. If you add a new component, the operating system needs to be instructed on how to operate that piece of hardware. After you install the driver, the operating system can recognize the hardware component and understand how to use it.Note:Due to the fact that drivers are programs, like any other file on your computer, they are susceptible to corruption and might not perform properly if corruption occurs.Y550P UG V1.0_en.book Page 91 Monday, July 13, 2009 11:36 AM

The data on your computer, some of it sensitive, is stored on a storage device called the hard disk. Before you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer, you need to delete that data.Handing your computer over to someone else without deleting the loaded software, such as operating systems and application software, may even violate License Agreements. You are advised to check the terms and conditions of those Agreements.Deleting the data from the hard disk is not easy.There are methods that seem to delete the data:Move the data to the recycle bin, and then choose the Empty recycle bin command.Use the Delete command.Format your hard disk, using the software for initializing it.Y550P UG V1.0_en.book Page 131 Monday, July 13, 2009 11:36 AM
132Appendix D. NoticesUsing the preinstalled recovery program, bring the hard disk back to factory-ship state.These operations, however, only change the file allocation of the data; they do not delete the data itself. In other words, the data retrieval processing is disabled under an operating system such as Windows. The data is still there, even though it seems to be lost. Thus, it is sometimes possible to read the data by use of special software for data recovery. There is a risk that people of bad faith may read and misuse the critical data on hard disks for unexpected purposes.To prevent the leakage of data, it becomes very important that you take responsibility for deleting all the data from the hard disk when you dispose of, sell, or hand over your computer. You can destroy the data physically by smashing the hard disk with a hammer, or magnetically by means of strong magnetic power, thus making the data unreadable. But we recommend that you make use of the software (payware) or service (pay service) specifically developed for the purpose.Y550P UG V1.0_en.book Page 132 Monday, July 13, 2009 11:36 AM
