Chapter 6. Safety, Use, and Care Information

ƒ

At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is

present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup. Lenovo has many

backup options available for your computer. CD-RW drives and CD-

RW/DVD drives are available for most computers and are easily

installed.

ƒ

Use or schedule System Restore to take a system snapshot periodically.

Note:

Always take a system snapshot before installing new drivers, updating

software, or installing new software.

ƒ

Update device drivers and BIOS when needed.

ƒ

Profile your machine at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com to keep up

to date with current drivers and revisions.

ƒ

Keep up to date on device drivers on other non-Lenovo hardware. You

might want to read the device driver information release notes prior to

updating for compatibility or known issues.

ƒ

Keep a log book. Entries might include major hardware or software

changes, driver updates, minor issues you have experienced and how

you resolved them.

ƒ

If you ever need to run a recovery operation on your computer to return

the contents of the hard disk to the factory-installed state, the following

tips might help along the way:

ƒ

Remove all external devices such as the printer, keyboard, and so

on.

ƒ

Make sure that the battery is charged and that you have the AC

power adapter connected.

ƒ

Boot into the BIOS and load the default settings.
