CAUTION
When the hard disk backup function has been enabled, even if a commercial data erasing
utility or similar software is used to erase all data from user-accessible area, the backed up
data will not be erased. You can use the hard disk data erase utility included in this com-
puter ( page 39) 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.
Occasionally, 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.
To disable the hard disk backup function
Perform the reinstallation procedure. All data in the backup area and the hard disk will be
erased.

reinstallation at the screen for executing the reinstallation.
