Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection
This computer has a function for reducing the risk of damage on the hard disk
drive.
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD Protection
detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the computer, and
automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe position to reduce the risk
of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk contact.
The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard disk
drive will not be damaged.
When vibration is detected, a message will be displayed on the screen, and the
icon in the Taskbar notication area will changed to the protection state. This
message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds pass. When
vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.
