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
®
Backup and
Restore program. Look in the online Help or your operating system
documentation for information on restoring files.

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.
Using the optical disc drive
Optical storage is a popular medium for software, music, and video.
Digital versatile discs (DVDs) 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: Your optical disc drive is set to play region 1
(North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc 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 from that last region. Note that changing from
region 1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.
