Important notice for users Important regulatory notice for users The ThinkPad T40 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 T40 Series computer, please find and read ThinkPad T40 Series Regulatory Notice, 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, Lenovo 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 Lenovo 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 36.) 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 Lenovo 2005. © Portions Copyright IBM Corp. 2005. xvii

Information
about
hard

capacity
The
ThinkPad
T40
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
T40
Series
computer,
please
find
and
read
ThinkPad
T40
Series
Regulatory
Notice
,
the
notice
that
supplements
this
Service
and
Troubleshooting
Guide.
The
notice
is
included
in
the
package
with
this
publication.
Instead
of
providing
a
recovery
CD
or
a
Windows
®
CD
with
your
computer,
Lenovo
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
Lenovo
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
36.)

more
information
about
recovering
your
hard
disk
to
the
original
preinstalled
contents,
