IMPORTANT! Create backup copies of your files on a regular basis. If data is corrupted or lost, you can restore your applications using these disks. However, if you do not have backup copies of your own data files, they cannot be restored. We strongly recommend that, as far as is possible, you back up all your data files prior to reinstalling the operating system as all files will be wiped from the hard disk in the course of the restore process. You must reinstall all programs you have installed since purchasing your machine and then restore your data files using the backup copies. No liability whatsoever is accepted for errors or loss of data as a consequence of this. TIP! If your PC is equipped with a CD/DVD burner, use this to create the backup copies of your data. Burn a data CD/DVD. An external USB bulk memory (hard disk or memory stick) is a useful expansion to your PC.
