Learning the Basics
Using the optical disc drive
Restoring your work
To restore information from your backup media to your internal
storage drive, use the Restore option in the Windows
Restore program. Look in the online Help or your operating system
documentation for information on restoring files.

Using the optical disc drive
Optical storage is a popular medium for software, music, and video.
Digital versatile discs or Blu-ray Discs™ (DVDs or BDs) provide a
significant increase in data storage and support features that were
not available on previous video platforms. These features include
wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround
sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup program
prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on the
internal storage drive. Make sure the backup version is the one you
want before overwriting the existing file.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical disc drive is set to play region 1
(North America) for DVD-ROMs or BD-ROMs, depending on the type
of drive. If you play a DVD or BD from another region, the drive will
automatically change to play in the format of the other region. The
drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the fourth
change, the region will be "locked in." That is, the drive will only play
DVDs and BDs from that last region. Note that changing from region
1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
