Care of CD-ROMs
CD-ROMs are precision devices and will func-
tion reliably if given reasonable care.
Always store a CD-ROM in its case when it is
not in use.
When removing a CD-ROM from its case,
press down on the holder's center while lift-
ing out the CD-ROM by its edges.
Always handle a CD-ROM by the edges and
avoid touching the surface.
Avoid storing any CD-ROM where there are
temperature extremes.
Do not bend CD-ROMs or set heavy objects
on them.
Never write on the label surface with a ball
point pen, pencil or similar device.
If a CD-ROM is subjected to a sudden
change from cold to warm condensation may
form on the surface. Wipe the moisture o
with a clean,soft,lint free cloth and then let
it dry at room temperature. DO NOT use a
hair dryer or heater to dry a CD-ROM.

ted (initialized) at the factory. You do not need
to format it under normal circumstances.

If you reformat the internal hard drive ALL
data including the operating system, appli-
cations software and data will be erased.
Unless data is copied to floppy disks or
other data storage media it will be perma-
nently lost. All software will be need to be
re-installed and data files restored from
your back-up disks. See the operating sys-
tem instructions for more information on
backing-up your data files. If you have a
system that came only with Windows 95,
the factory installed software, including
the operating system can be restored from
the Recovery CD-ROM which came in
the accessories box when you purchased
your notebook. (See Restoring Your Pre-
installed Software from CD-ROM on page
114 for more information.) Any applica-
tion software which you have purchased
and installed will have to be reinstalled
