Drive C Directory Structure
The drive C: directory structure is the same for all media types. Microsoft Windows is installed
in the \Windows or \WINNT directory. The default directory depends on the version installed. In
addition, Microsoft Windows creates other directories and several subdirectories. For more
information on the directories Microsoft Windows uses, please refer to commercially available
Windows reference guides.
Depending on the option ordered, drive C: may be:
• a 40 or 80 GB rotating drive
• a 2 or 4 GB flash drive
• a 2 or 4 GB PCMCIA card
• a user installed drive (a VX5 with the “no hard drive” option)
Please refer to the invoice or packing list if there are any questions about the configuration of your
VX5.
ATTENTION: On a VX5 with a flash drive, powering off the VX5 before a write (to disk)
function has completed, may result in the corruption of the flash drive.
Software Loaded on Drive C
The software loaded on the VX5 computer consists of:
• BIOS

software.
Note: If your VX5 was ordered with the no OS option, please refer to “VX5 with No OS”, later
in this chapter.
The software installed on the VX5 is summarized below.
Note: Due to the complex directory structure and System Registry under Microsoft Windows,
software should not be removed manually. Instead use the Add/Remove Programs icon
in the Windows Control Panel.
Microsoft Windows
Microsoft Windows is installed in the \Windows (or \WINNT) subdirectory, which is the
Windows default. In addition, Windows places files in other directories and subdirectories during
installation. For more information, please refer to commercially available Windows user guides.
