If Something Goes Wrong
Develop good computing habits
On a regular basis, back up the information stored on
your hard disk.
Here are some ways you can do this:
Copy files to diskette in Windows Millennium Edition,


following the steps in
Connect a tape drive to the system and use specialized


software to copy everything on the hard disk to a tape.
Some people use a combination of these methods, backing
up all files to tape weekly and copying critical files to diskette
on a daily basis.
If you have installed your own programs, you should back
up these programs as well as your data files. If something
goes wrong that requires you to reformat your hard disk and
start again, reloading all your programs and data files from a
backup source will save time.
Read the user's guides.
It's very difficult to provide a fail-safe set of steps you can
follow every time you experience a problem with the
computer. Your ability to solve problems will improve as you
learn about how the computer and its software work
together.
Get familiar with all the user's guides provided with your
computer, as well as the manuals that come with the
programs and devices you purchase.
Your local computer store or book store sells a variety of
self-help books you can use to supplement the information
in the manuals.
