Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make 
sure all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops 
glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the 
back (where the ports are located).
Although your notebook computer is built to withstand 
reasonable shock and vibration, transport it in a carrying case 
for long trips. You can purchase a carrying case from your 
Toshiba dealer, through the accessories information packaged 
with your system, or visit
Backing up your work
Your computer comes with Hard Disk Drive Recovery 
Utilities that enable you to reinstall software that was 
preinstalled. This can be used to install or reinstall particular 
Toshiba applications, utilities, and drivers. For more 
information, see 
Back up all the files you create in case something happens to 
your computer. If you have a network partition, you can hold 
copies of your files there.
Alternatively, you can back up your files to diskette one at a 
time as you are working on them. 
To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft
®
 
Windows
®
 backup program preinstalled on the computer’s 
hard disk. 
Complete information on the backup program is in the online 
Help and your Windows
®
 documentation.
