❖
Back up your files to diskettes (or other removable
storage media) on a regular basis. Label the backup
copies clearly and store them in a safe place.
If your hard disk suddenly fails, you may lose all the data
on it unless you have a separate backup copy.
❖
Use Disk Defragmenter to conserve disk space and help
your computer perform at its optimal level.
❖
Before turning off the computer, always use the Turn Off
command (unless you want to use Stand By or
Hibernation mode as described in
).
CAUTION: The operating system records information, such as
your desktop setup, during its turn-off procedure. If you don’t let it
turn off normally, details such as new icon positions may be lost.
