Troubleshooting ■ If your hard disk or other storage media contains sensitive data, you should be aware that standard deletion procedures do not remove data from the media. These standard deletion procedures include: ■ Selecting Delete for a target file ■ Putting files in the Recycle Bin and emptying the Recycle Bin ■ Reformatting the media ■ Reinstalling an operating system from the recovery CD-ROM The procedures above delete only the initial part of the data used for file management. This makes the file invisible to the operating system, but the data can still be read by specialized utilities. If you dispose of the PC, please delete all the data on its hard disk drive. Doing so prevents unauthorized use of such data. To ensure your data is not used for unauthorized purposes, you can: ■ Physically destroy the hard disk drive ■ Use a proven specialized utility to overwrite all data ■ Take the hard disk drive to a professional deletion service All data deletion costs will be borne by you.
