Important notice for users Important regulatory notice for users The ThinkPad® R50 Series computer complies with the radio frequency and safety standards of any country or region in which it has been approved for wireless use. You are requested to install and use your ThinkPad computer in strict accordance with the local RF regulations. Before you use the ThinkPad R50 Series computer, please find and read Regulatory Notice for ThinkPad R50 Series, the notice that supplements this Service and Troubleshooting Guide. The notice is included in the package with this publication. Information about hard disk capacity Instead of providing a recovery CD or a Windows® CD with your computer, IBM® provides simpler methods of accomplishing the tasks typically associated with these CDs. The files and programs for these alternative methods are on your hard disk, which eliminates having to locate misplaced CDs and problems associated with using an incorrect CD version. The complete backup of all the files and programs that IBM preinstalled on your computer resides in a hidden section, or partition, of the hard disk. Although hidden, the backups in the partition consume hard disk space. Therefore, when checking the capacity of your hard disk according to Windows, you might note that the total capacity of the disk appears to be smaller than anticipated. This discrepancy is explained by the contents of the hidden partition. (See "Recovering pre-installed software" on page 31.) For more information about recovering your hard disk to the original preinstalled contents, refer to your on-system help source, Access IBM. Press the blue Access IBM button or click the Access IBM icon on your desktop, and then browse the Learn section for various topics that cover backing up and recovering. © Copyright IBM Corp. 2003 iii
