It is a good idea to keep a backup of important data currently on your hard disk at all times. The most
important and crucial information to back up is the data (spreadsheets, word processing documents,
etc.) that you create. Your operating system and programs can always be reinstalled using the original
manufacturers’ disks or CD’s. You will need to decide if you want to try to do this on floppy disks, the
optional CD-RW drive, or an external device such as a tape drive or other removable media drives.
