Backing up your files
Backing up your files means copying individual files to
media, such as CD, or copying entire sections of your hard
disk to another device, such as a tape drive.
For those systems with a floppy disk drive, you may back up
file to a floppy disk as follows:
1 To back up to a CD or other media, insert the media into
the diskette or appropriate drive.
2 Click Start, then click My Computer.
3 Click the drive that contains the file you want to copy.
4 Double-click the folder that contains the file, then click
the file you want to copy.
HINT: You can use the Ctrl or Shift keys to select more than
one file.
5 Click File, then click Send To.
Using the DVD-ROM or Multifunction drive
Optical storage has become the preferred medium for
software, music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs)
provide a significant increase in data storage and support
features that are not available on any other video platform.
These features include wide-screen movies, multiple
language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera
angles, and interactive menus.
