Backing Up Data
If you back up your data regularly, you will have an extra copy of the data to use in
case the original data is damaged or lost. Windows 95 has a backup function to let
you easily back up your data.
From the Start menu, select Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Backup to start
the backup operation. For more information, use the Windows 95 Help.
Backup method may differ depending on software in use.
Windows 95 Startup Disk
You need this disk only when you want to use the notebook if the notebook cannot
start for any reason. It starts up the notebook and displays A:\>prompt. It may be
useful:
when you find your hard disk is damaged and you wish to format your hard disk
by executing the FORMAT command on the Windows 95 Startup Disk.
when Windows is damaged and you wish to re-install it using Windows 95 Setup
Disks.
when you want to recreate the suspend-to disk partition in your hard disk.
