So yesterday I went to PC World and bought some DVD + R ready to try to do this complicated back up this morning.<BR /><BR />Now for the first time since I had it, the notice no longer appears. <BR /><BR />How do I start the system back up in case the sytem fails one day?<BR /><BR />I'm a lady in my seventies and I ask that someone kind repliesin very simple language, otherwise I won't understand the instructions.<BR /><BR />Also, when I press the button to open the disk drive, it doesn't spring all the way out like a normal computer. Is there something wrong with it, that it only comes out a little way? Am I doing any harm pulling it out manually?<BR /><BR />Thank you all in advance.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 30 Aug 2008 06:03:49 GMT bizgen 2008-08-30T06:03:49Z Please help - back ups disks - real newbie https://community.sony.it/t5/pcs-accessories/please-help-back-ups-disks-real-newbie/m-p/155107#M59048 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I am really new to computers and am a bit nervous asking all you computer experts for help in case I make a fool of myself. <BR /><BR />I've just bought this lovely FW11E and, every day, I got a notice to do a system back up because no disks were provided.
