attached devices, and disconnect cords and cables.

before moving it. This will prevent damage to the hard disk drive and data
loss.

v Use a quality carrying case that provides adequate cushion and protection.
Do not pack your computer in a tightly packed suitcase or bag.
Handle storage media and drives properly
v If your computer comes with a diskette drive, avoid inserting diskettes at
an angle and attaching multiple or loose diskette labels, as these can lodge

drive before closing the tray.

might have to replace your system board or hard disk drive.
