When you swap diskettes this way, it is a good idea to

write-protect the original diskette so you don’t accidentally write
over it. (See “Write-protecting Diskettes” earlier in this chapter for
more information.)

Using a Hard Disk

The hard disk installed in the ActionNote has been prepared for
use at the factory and has MS-DOS and Windows installed. If you

plan to use MS-DOS or Windows, you can install your application

programs and begin work. See the documentation that came with

your programs for instructions.

Follow these precautions to protect your hard disk from damage
and to avoid losing data:

Never turn off or reset the computer when the hard disk drive

light is on. This light indicates that the computer is copying
data to or from the hard disk.

Do not move the computer when the power is on. After

turning the power off, wait 20 seconds before moving it. This

allows the disks in the drive to stop spinning and the hard

disk read/write heads to lock in place so you do not damage
the drive.

Backing Up the Hard Disk

Although the hard disk is very reliable, be sure to backup your

files in case you lose some data accidentally. Also, make copies of
all your system and application program diskettes before copying
the programs to the hard disk. See your operating system manual
for instructions.
