Backing up the hard disk

While the hard disk is very reliable, it is essential to back up

your hard disk files to diskettes or tapes in case you lose some

data accidentally. Make copies of all your system and

application program diskettes before copying the programs to

the hard disk. After you create data files on the hard disk, be

sure to copy them whenever you revise them to keep your

backup diskettes or tapes up-to-date.

Caring for your

hard disk

Follow these precautions to protect your hard disk drive from

damage and to avoid losing data:

Never turn off or reset the computer when the hard disk

access light is on. This light indicates that the computer is

copying data to or from the hard disk. If you interrupt this

process, you can lose data.

Never attempt to open the hard disk drive. The disk itself is

enclosed in a sealed container to protect it from dust.

If you need to move your computer, you may need to run

the HDSIT program to prepare the hard disk for moving, as

described on page

1-26.
