Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on the hard

disk drive.
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD

Protection detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the

computer, and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe

position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk

contact.

When vibration is detected, a message will be displayed on the screen, and

the icon in the Taskbar notification area will change to the protection state.

This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds

pass. When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.

The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the
