• Keep a “Boot Floppy Disk” (this disk provides basic information which allows you to startup
your computer) handy. You may refer to your OS’s documentation for instructions on how to
make one, and many Anti-Virus programs will also provide such a disk (or at least instructions
on how to make one).
Upgrading and Adding New Hardware/Software
• Do not be tempted to make changes to your Windows Registry unless you are very sure of what
you are doing, otherwise you will risk severely damaging your system.
• Don’t open your computer or undertake any repair or upgrade work if you are not comfortable
with what you are doing.
• Read the documentation. We can assume, since you are reading this that you are looking at the
notebook’s manual, but what about any new peripheral devices you have just purchased? Many
problems are caused by the installation of new hardware and/or software. Always refer to the doc-
umentation of any new hardware and/or software, and pay particular attention to files entitled
“READ ME” or “READ ME FIRST”.
