Cautions on Preventing Data Loss (Hard Disk Management)
Take care not to damage the data on a hard disk drive.
	
A	hard	disk	drive	is	so	sensitive	to	external	impact	that	an	external	impact	may	cause	loss	of	data	on	the	surface	of	the	
disk.
	
Take	extra	care,	because	moving	the	computer	or	an	impact	on	the	computer	when	it	is	turned	on	may	damage	the	data	of	 the	hard	disk	drive.
	
The	company	is	not	liable	for	any	loss	of	any	data	caused	by	a	customer’s	careless	usage	or	bad	environmental	conditions.
Causes that may damage the data of a hard disk drive and the hard disk drive itself.
	
The	data	may	be	lost	when	an	external	impact	is	applied	to	the	disk	while	disassembling	or	assembling	the	computer.
	
The	data	may	be	lost	when	the	computer	is	turned	off	 or	reset	by	a	power	failure	while	the	hard	disk	drive	is	operating.
	
The	data	may	be	lost	and	irrecoverable	due	to	a	computer	virus	infection.
	
The	data	may	be	lost	if	the	power	is	turned	off	while	running	a	program.
  M
oving or causing an impact to the computer while the hard disk drive is operating, may cause files to be corrupted or bad 
sectors	on	the	hard	disk.
To prevent data loss due to damage to the hard disk drive, please backup your data frequently.
