completely enters the lower power state. To restore the notebook to its normal
operating stability:

Close all open applications.

Pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete (at the same time) or turning off the notebook with the power
switch may result in data loss in files that are currently open.

(Windows 2000 only) When the notebook returns from a power saving mode after
removing the optical drive, the message "Unsafe Removal of Device" may appear and
the device name may be displayed as "Secondary IDE Channel”. Click OK.
