Maintenance This section includes information about tasks you can perform to help ensure the troublefree operation of your computer, and to ease the recovery of important information on your computer should problems arise in the future. Creating Data Backup Discs You can use the CD or DVD burning software included on your computer to create backup discs of important information including personal files, e-mail messages, and Web site bookmarks. When writing data to a backup disc, you should use software that includes write verification functionality. This verification feature compares the data on your hard disk drive with the data copied to the disc to ensure it is an exact copy. Depending on your disc burning software, you may need to manually enable this feature. Creating System Recovery Discs This is a one-time step that you should perform while your computer is working properly. If you later encounter problems with your computer, you can restore it to its original factory settings using the System Recovery discs that you create. Before creating recovery discs, read "System Recovery" on page 25, and then create the discs as described in "Creating Recovery Discs" on page 25. Removing Unused Programs 1 Click the Windows Start Button®, and then click Control Panel. 2 Click Uninstall a program. The Programs and Features window opens. 3 Select the program you want to remove, and click Uninstall. 4 Follow the onscreen instructions. NOTE: Some programs have their own uninstall features. If you cannot uninstall a program from the Control Panel, refer to the program documentation or Help. Maintenance 1
