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. 

When vibration is detected, a message will be displayed on the screen, and

This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds
