Information about hard disk capacity
Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows
®
CD with your computer,
IBM
®
provides simpler methods of accomplishing the tasks typically
associated with these CDs. The files and programs for these alternative
methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate misplaced
CDs and problems associated with using an incorrect CD version.
The complete backup of all the files and programs that IBM preinstalled on
your computer resides in a hidden section, or partition, of the hard disk.
Although hidden, the backups in the partition consume hard disk space.
Therefore, when checking the capacity of your hard disk according to
Windows
®
you might note that the total capacity of the disk appears to be
smaller than anticipated. This discrepancy is explained by the contents of the
hidden partition.
For more information about recovering your hard disk to the original
preinstalled contents refer to your on-system help source, Access IBM. Press
the blue Access IBM button or click the Access IBM icon on your desktop, and
then browse the Learn section for various topics that cover backing up and
recovering.
