IBM ThinkPad 310E/310ED: User's Guide
It is recommended that you make a backup copy of
the files on the hard disk drive, in case you
accidentally erase preinstalled software or
intentionally modify the hard disk drive. You can use
the backup copy to restore your computer to the way
it was at the time when you made the backup copy.
In some countries, you can create the device driver
diskettes you need to install all necessary software
using the backup program. For more information,
refer to Chapter 7, "Installing Software".
