192 If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits Follow these steps to back up your computer or files to optical discs, or a hard drive: NOTE You cannot back up the computer while running on battery power. Connect the AC adaptor before continuing. 1 Prepare your backup target by connecting it and/or inserting a blank optical disc in the drive. 2 Click Start. 3 Click Control Panel. 4 Click System and Maintenance. 5 Click Backup and Restore Center. 6 You can choose to back up some files or the entire computer. Click either Back up files or Back up computer. NOTE If you choose to back up your entire computer, you will be setting up a scheduled backup that will be performed periodically, and will only include the changes made since the last backup. 7 Follow the on-screen help to complete your backup. For more help, click Start, Help and Support, and search for "back up." General tips for installing hardware and software Here are a few tips to help ensure safe and easy installation of new hardware (printers, pointing devices, external hard drives, DVD writers, scanners, etc.) and software (applications like Microsoft® Office and Adobe® Photoshop®, or utility software such as special toolbars for your web browser). ❖ Create a Restore Point (refer to "Saving system configuration with Restore Points" on page 190). Before installing anything, use the System Restore utility to set a Restore Point (see the section titled Restore Points). If anything goes wrong, you will then be able to easily restore the Windows® operating system to the state it was in prior to the installation, undoing any changes that the installation process introduced.
