Operation

Saving Data on the Hard Disk

Do not expose your computer to shock.

Use care when handling your computer, shock may damage your hard disk or make your

software applications and data unusable.

Do not power off your computer while software applications are running or hard disk

drive indicator ( ) is on.

Properly shut Windows down to avoid problems.

Save all valuable data to floppy disks, etc.

Backing up data to floppy disks, etc. will limit damage should trouble occur to your com-

puter or should you inadvertently change or erase data.

Use the security function for all important data. ( “Security Measures”)

Hard Disk Lock

When the Hard Disk Lock is set to [Enable], it is impossible to read/write data from/to the

hard disk when the hard disk is installed in a different computer, since a password is also set

for the hard disk. When the hard disk is returned to the original computer, you can read and

write data as before. In this case, however, make the settings in the Setup Utility exactly the

same as they were before the hard disk was removed. (Note that this Hard Disk Lock does

not guarantee complete protection of data.) ( “Security Measures”)

Users are advised to purchase the latest versions of virus protection software and use

them regularly.

We recommend you run the software:

• When booting your computer.

• After receiving data.

We recommend that you check data received on disks or from external sources, such as data

downloaded from the Internet, e-mail, etc. (For compressed files, uncompress them before

running a check).

puter, and whether the version of that software is the latest version available.

Read the message, select (red icon) on the taskbar, and make the appropriate settings.

This message, which the Windows Security Center ( page 22) displays to confirm the security-

related settings regularly, will be displayed until the settings are made more properly.

If the message “Your computer might be at risk” is displayed

NOTE

This message does not indicate an error. You can use the computer while the message is

displayed. However, in order to operate the computer more safely, we recommend mak-

ing the appropriate measures to reduce damage from virus and other attacks, thus avoid-

ing the appearance of this message.

Operation

When Disposing of or Transferring Ownership of This Device

When disposing of or transferring ownership of this device, erase all data on the hard disk in order

to prevent the theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through

normal Windows commands, data can still be read using special software. In order to erase all

data, either have the data erased by a specialist (at a charge) or use the hard disk data erase utility

(included) ( page 41). (Note that this hard disk data erase utility does not guarantee that data

will be completely erased.)

Also, note that if you transfer ownership of this device without deleting commercial soft-

ware that you have installed to the hard disk, you may be in violation of the licensing

agreement for that software.

When Changing Hard Disk Partitions

When using the hard disk backup function, divide the hard disk into partitions when a backup

area is created.( page 37) If you divide the hard disk into partitions before creating the

backup area, the backup area cannot be created.

Useful Information

When Using Peripheral Devices

Pay strict attention to the following points to avoid damage to the computer, peripheral devices,

cables, etc. Also, in addition to following this manual and the Reference Manual, carefully read

the instruction manuals for the peripheral devices being used.

Use only peripheral devices that conform to the computer’s specifications.

Connect the devices properly, paying close attention to the condition and position of the

connectors.

If a connection cannot be made easily, do not apply undue force; check once more to confirm

the condition and position of the connector (alignment of pins, etc.) .

If the connector has holding screws, fasten the screws firmly.

Do not carry the computer with cables attached, and do not pull on the cables forcefully.

To prevent theft of data or unauthorized access to the hard disk

via a wireless LAN.

If you plan to use wireless LAN functions, we recommend that you do so only after making

the appropriate security settings, such as for data encryption.

Do not power down your computer or press the disk eject button while the Multimedia

pocket device indicator ( ) is on.

Doing so may damage the data on the floppy disk and render the floppy disk useless.

Use care when handling floppy disks.

To protect the data on your floppy disks or to prevent a floppy disk from becoming stuck in

your computer, avoid the following:

• Sliding the shutter on the floppy disk manually.

• Exposing the floppy disk to a magnetic field.

• Storing the floppy disk in locations prone to high temperatures, low pitched noise, damp-

ness, or dust.

• Applying more than one label on the floppy disk.

Confirm the contents of a floppy disk before formatting it.

Confirm that no important data is on the floppy disk, because all data on the floppy disk will

be erased.

Use the write-protect tab.

This is a must for preserving important data. This prevents your data from being erased or overwrit-

ten.

Some video files use a Codec that is not installed as a standard. In these cases, if you play

back the video file after connecting to the Internet, the Codec may be downloaded auto-

matically, allowing you to play back the file.

If you cannot start up a program or share files, this may be because the “Firewall (Win-

dows Firewall)” in the “Windows Security Center” is set to be enabled.

If this function is set to be enabled, damage from viruses and other attacks is reduced, but

some programs and functions cannot be operated.

To use the program or to share files or printers:

You can use programs or other functions without the effects of the Windows Firewall by

registering them as an exception in the Windows Firewall settings (it is not necessary to

disable the Windows Firewall).

Note, however, that if a program is registered as an exception, there is a risk of damage

from viruses or other attacks. Before registering a program as an exception, confirm the

program’s safety with the manufacturer or other reliable source.

Select [start] - [Control Panel] - [Security Center] - [Windows Firewall].

Select [Exceptions].

To register a network game or other programs as an exception:

Select [Add Program], select the program, and select [OK].

To set access through a specified port as an exception:

Select [Add Port], set the port, and select [OK].

To set a file or printer as an exception:

Add the check mark for [File and Printer Sharing].

Confirm that there is a check mark for the item to be set as an exception, and select [OK].

The Windows Firewall is a security function designed to protect your computer from

unauthorized access via the Internet and other external networks.

The firewall regulates the data exchanged between the computer and the external network,

so that only approved data can pass through. We recommend that you use your computer

with the Firewall enabled to minimize damage from viruses and other malicious attacks.

When installing additional commercially available firewall software, we recommend that

you disable the Windows Firewall settings, as the new software may interfere with the

Windows Firewall functions.

For details, refer to the manual accompanying the firewall software to be installed.

Only Windows Update programs with a high level of priority will be automatically down-

loaded (or installed).

Update programs with a comparatively low level of importance will not be downloaded

(or installed) automatically. Check regularly whether new update programs have become

available.

Troubleshooting

Others (continued)

In Windows XP, security functions have been strengthened with regard to Web contents.

One of these is the “Pop-up Blocker,” which may prevent some Web pages from being

displayed.

If you have any problems with Web page displays (e.g., if a page cannot be displayed

correctly on Internet Explorer), check the contents of the message window displayed be-

low the address bar (called the “Information Bar”). The Information Bar shows the infor-

mation that has been suppressed by Internet Explorer.

• If the message “Pop-up blocked” is displayed:

Select the message, and select “Temporarily Allow Pop-ups.”

The blocked Popup will be displayed temporarily.

• If the message “This site might require the following ActiveX control...” is displayed:

Select the message, and select “Install ActiveX Control.”

Check “Name” and “Publisher” on the [Security Warning] screen, and execute the

installation.

• If you cannot find the Information Bar:

If you need to display the page, select the Web page link while pressing Ctrl . The

pop-up blocker function will be temporarily disabled.

In Windows XP, there is a function that blocks image displays in HTML e-mail messages.

To display images in HTML e-mail messages, it is necessary to access the sender’s server,

and this may cause problems in the computer.

Preventing these images from appearing can decrease the risk of attack from viruses etc.

If you need to display images, select the segment where the message “Some pictures have

been blocked?” is displayed. The images can be displayed temporarily.

If a message received in Outlook Express has contained an attachment file with an exten-

sion such as “.exe” or “.scr” (potentially unsafe files), Windows XP blocks those files.

If you need to read the files, select [Tools] - [Options] - [Security] and remove the check

mark from [Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially be a

virus].

This message is displayed by the “Security Center” function in Windows XP.

The “Security Center” is a function that monitors the level of safety in Windows security

settings in order to operate the computer safely, for example, with regard to antivirus

measures.

It checks the following three items regularly, and displays messages until the settings are

made at an appropriate level of safety.

• Firewall: Is the Windows Firewall enabled?

• Automatic Updates: Is the automatic Windows Update function enabled?

• Virus Protection: Has antivirus software been installed, has the latest version of the

antivirus software been installed, and is the real-time search function enabled (ON)?

The message “Your computer might be at risk” is displayed by the “Security Center”

function, and does not indicate an error or malfunction. The "Security Center" function

checks the above three items to ensure that your computer can be used safely, and notifies

the user if the settings are not at an appropriate level of safety.

You can continue to use the computer even if these messages continue to be displayed, but

we recommend that you follow the procedures below to minimize damage from viruses.

Read the message.

Select (red icon) on the taskbar.

The [Windows Security Center] screen will be displayed.

Select [Recommendations] in [Firewall] or [Virus Protection], or select [Turn on Auto-

matic Updates] in [Automatic Updates].

If measures are not required, [Recommendations] or [Turn on Automatic Updates] will

not be displayed.

Troubleshooting

Others (continued)

This message is displayed because the “Automatic Updates” setting in the “Security Cen-

ter” is disabled or is not set. (Settings have not been made at the time of purchase.)

“Automatic Updates” is a function that regularly checks whether high-priority update pro-

grams (security updates, etc.) have been provided to Windows Update, and automatically

installs these programs to maintain Windows in its latest condition.

You can continue using the computer even if these messages continue to be displayed, but

we recommend that “Automatic Updates” is set as [Automatic] to maintain its latest con-

dition.

Appendix

Hard Disk Backup Function

The hard disk backup function creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk. This area is to back up (store) hard disk

contents or restore backed up contents to their original locations.

By backing up the data on your hard disk to a backup area, you can protect your data from loss or damage resulting from operational

errors or other factors. Also, you can back up or restore hard disk contents using this computer alone, without having to use other

media or peripheral devices.

At the time of purchase, the hard disk backup function is disabled. If you follow the procedure below to create a backup area, the

hard disk backup function will be enabled, and you will be able to back up your data. Note, that once the backup function has been

enabled, you will have to perform the reinstallation procedure to disable it again ( page 33).

Disconnect or remove all peripheral devices (except for the CD/DVD drive), as the backup area

may not be created properly while these devices are connected.

Be sure the AC adaptor is connected to the computer.

A backup area cannot be created if the hard disk is already divided into several partitions. Return

the computer to its condition at the time of purchase (one partition only), and create the backup

area.

To divide the partition, make the selection when the backup area is created ( page 38 step

If the partition configuration is changed (partitions created, size changed, etc.) after the backup

area has been created, it will no longer be possible to execute the backup function. To change the

configuration, it is necessary to return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase, and

then create the backup area again.

The hard disk backup function will only work for the internal hard disk. This function does not

work with an external hard disk or the second hard disk (optional).

Backup and restore functions will not operate if the hard disk has been damaged.

Do not use the NTFS file system compression function, as this may result in insufficient capacity

of the backup area.

If the hard disk malfunctions, it will be impossible to read the data stored on it. We recommend

that you also back up important data to a location other than the hard disk (an external hard disk

or other media).

Execute a disk error check using the following procedure.

Select [Local Disk(C:)] with the right button in [start] - [My Computer], and select [Properties].

Select [Check Now] from [Tools].

In [Check Disk], select [Start] without adding a check mark beside any of the items.

If a message is displayed indicating that there is an error in the disk, display [Check Disk], and

add a check mark for [Automatically fix file system errors] and [Scan for and attempt recovery

of bad sectors], select [Start], and check for disk errors again.

The hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks. Do not convert the hard

disk to a dynamic disk.

The hard disk backup function cannot back up or restore data properly if there is a problem with the hard disk when the data is

backed up or restored. Note that if an error occurs while data is being restored, whether as a result of an unexpected malfunction,

incorrect operation, or other reason, the data in the hard disk (data before restoration) may be lost.

Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damages suffered by the user (including loss of data)

as a result of the use of this function.

available, the backup area cannot be created.

• When the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be reduced to less

than half.

• The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows. For this reason, backed up data

cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media.

• When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will be over-

written. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored previously

in the backup area will be lost.
