Important Information
Hard Disk Backup Function
The hard disk backup function creates a backup area (storage area) on the hard disk. This area is to back up (store) 
hard disk contents or restore backed up contents to their original locations.
By backing up the data on your hard disk to a backup area, you can protect your data from loss or damage resulting 
from operational errors or other factors.  Also, you can back up or restore hard disk contents using this computer alone, 
without having to use other media or peripheral devices.
At the time of purchase, the hard disk backup function is disabled.  If you follow the procedure below to create a backup 
area, the hard disk backup function will be enabled, and you will be able to back up your data.  Note, that once the 
backup function has been enabled, you will have to perform the reinstallation procedure to disable it again.
‹Preparing
zYou will need the Product Recovery DVD-ROM (included).
zDisconnect or remove all peripheral devices (including a mini port replicator), SD 
memory cards. Take care to disconnect the USB floppy disk drive, as the backup 
area may not be created properly while these devices are connected.
zBe sure the AC adaptor is connected to the computer.
zIf the hard disk malfunctions, it will be impossible to read the data stored on it. We 
recommend that you also back up important data to a location other than the hard 
disk (an external hard disk or other media).
zExecute a disk error check using the following procedure.
ADisplay [Local Disk(C:) Properties].
Right-click [Local Disk(C:)] in [start] - [My Computer], and click [Proper-
ties].
BClick [Check Now] from [Tools].
CIn [Check Disk Local Disk], click [Start] without adding a checkmark beside 
any of the items.
If a message is displayed indicating that there is an error in the disk, dis-
play [Check Disk Local Disk], and add a checkmark for [Automatically fix 
file system errors] and [Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors], 
click [Start], and check for disk errors again.
‹Precautions
zTo divide the partition, make the selection when the backup area is created (Îpage 
57 step G).
zA backup area cannot be created if the hard disk is already divided into several par-
titions.  Return the computer to its condition at the time of purchase (one partition 
only), and create the backup area.
zIf the partition configuration is changed (partitions created, size changed, etc.) after 
the backup area has been created, it will no longer be possible to execute the 
backup function. To change the configuration, it is necessary to return the computer 
to its condition at the time of purchase, and then create the backup area again.
zThe hard disk backup function will only work for the internal hard disk. This function 
does not work with an external hard disk.
zBackup and restore functions will not operate if the hard disk has been damaged.
zDo not use the NTFS file system compression function, as this may result in insuffi-
cient capacity of the backup area.
zThe hard disk backup function does not accommodate dynamic disks.  Do not con-
vert the hard disk to a dynamic disk.
NOTE
zRegarding backup area The hard disk backup function cannot back up or restore data properly if there is a problem with the hard disk when 
the data is backed up or restored.  Note that if an error occurs while data is being restored, whether as a result of an 
unexpected malfunction, incorrect operation, or other reason, the data in the hard disk (data before restoration) may 
be lost.
Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no responsibility for any damages suffered by the user (including loss 
of data) as a result of the use of this function.
Before Using a Hard Disk Backup Function 
						

							57
Important Information
• Requires availability of at least half of the entire hard disk.  Without sufficient 
space available, the backup area cannot be created.
• When the backup area is created, the usable hard disk capacity will be 
reduced to less than half.
• The backup area cannot be accessed from Windows.  For this reason, backed 
up data cannot be copied to CD-R or other removable disk media.
• When the hard disk backup function is executed, data in the backup area will 
be overwritten. If newly created or edited data is backed up later, data stored 
previously in the backup area will be lost.

CAUTION
zWhen the hard disk backup function has been enabled, the backed up data will 
not be erased even if a commercial data erasing utility or similar software is 
used to erase all data from user-accessible area. You can use the hard disk 
data erase utility included in this computer (Îpage 60) to erase all data on the 
hard disk, including backed up data. Use this hard disk data erase utility before 
disposing of or transferring ownership of this computer.
zOccasionally, the message [#1805 cannot write image file] will be displayed, 
and the backup function will be interrupted.  If this error occurs, execute the 
backup function again.  After this, if the backup function is completed properly, 
then there is no problem in the hard disk.

Important Information
When Disposing of This Computer
When disposing of or transferring ownership of this computer, erase all data on the hard disk in order to prevent the 
theft of hard disk data. Even if you delete data or initialize the hard disk through normal Windows commands, data can 
still be read using special software. In order to erase all data, either have the data erased by a specialist (at a charge) or 
use the hard disk data erase utility (included).  (Note that this hard disk data erase utility does not guarantee that data 
will be completely erased.)
Also, note that if you transfer ownership of this computer without deleting commercial software that you have installed to 
the hard disk, you may be in violation of the licensing agreement for that software.
This computer is equipped with a utility for erasing hard disk data.

able to read data that has been erased using this method. If you need to erase highly confidential data, we recom-
mend that you contact a company that specializes in this process. Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. will bear no 
responsibility for losses or damages suffered as a result of the use of this utility.
