Learning the Basics
Backing up your work
Backing up your work
Back up all the files you create in case something happens
to your computer. You can back up your files to different
types of media such as CDs, DVDs, external storage media,
or to a network, if available.
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
®
Windows
®
file recovery program preinstalled on the
computer’s internal storage drive. Also see “Backing up your
data or your entire computer with the Windows
®
operating
system” on page 163.
HINT: Backing up all the files on your internal storage
drive may take a considerable amount of time and
multiple CDs/DVDs. You may prefer to use a high-
capacity file recovery system, such as an external hard
drive.
Using the optical disc drive
Optical storage is a popular medium for software, music,
and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant
increase in data storage and support features that were not
available on previous video platforms. These features
include wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital
surround sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive
menus.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical disc drive is set to play
Region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMS. A DVD disc of a
region other than the above mentioned cannot be played
unless you manually change it in the Properties setting of
the optical disc drive. The drive will allow you to change
regions four times. On the fourth change, the region will
be “locked in.” That is, the drive will only play DVDs from
that last region. Note that changing from region 1 to
region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that
you play DVDs while running the computer on AC power.
