To restore information from your backup media to your internal 
storage drive, use the Restore page in the backup program. Look in 
the online Help or your operating system documentation for 
information on restoring files.

TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup program 
prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on the 
internal storage drive. Make sure the backup version is the one you 
want before overwriting the existing file.

Optical storage has become the preferred medium for software, 
music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a 
significant increase in data storage and support features that were 
not available on previous video platforms. These features include 
wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround 
sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.

For these reasons, your computer may come with an optical drive.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1 (North 
America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from another region, 
the drive will automatically change to play in the format of the other 
region. The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the 
fourth change, the region will be “locked in.” That is, the drive will 
only play DVDs from that last region. Note that changing from region 
1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes. 

For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play 
DVDs while running the computer on AC power.

When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came 
with your computer.
