If Something Goes Wrong Develop good computing habits 201 NOTE This list may contain Restore Points that you did not create. Restore Points labeled System Checkpoint were automatically created by the Windows® operating system. Other Restore Points may have been created automatically by applications when they were installed. 4 Select the Restore Point you want to use, and then click Next. The utility displays the timestamp and description of the selected Restore Point. 5 Verify that the Restore Point you selected is the correct one. If it is not, click Back to return to step 4. 6 Close all programs and save all open files. 7 Click Finish, and then Yes to begin the system restore. 8 Your Windows® operating system configuration will now be restored to the state it was in when the chosen Restore Point was created, and then the computer will be automatically restarted. Backing up your data or your entire computer with the Windows® operating system For most of us, by far the most valuable component of our computer system is the data we have created with it, and stored on its hard disk drive. Since problems with either hardware or software can make the data inaccessible or even destroy it, the next most valuable component of your computer system may be a recent backup of your data. Fortunately, the Windows® operating system offers a convenient way to back up your computer or just your important files to CDs, DVDs, or hard drives. An external hard drive is recommended in case the internal hard drive fails. No additional software is required. Most of the CD and DVD drives built into recent Toshiba portable computer models can write to (or 'burn') as well as read from CDs. External CD and DVD writers are also widely available. Follow these steps to back up your computer or files to CDs, DVDs, or a hard drive: NOTE You can not back up the computer while running on battery power. Connect the AC adaptor before continuing.
