FAQ
Saving Documents
When the PC is rebooted, all changes (files saved to it, browser changes, etc.) will be reversed. There is no method of recovering files once a PC has been rebooted. For that reason, saving documents to the computer is NOT recommended, particularly those in which you have invested a great deal of time. An unplanned loss of power or a computer freeze is always a possibility and any saved documents would be permanently lost. All important files should be saved to external media such as a USB drive. Files needed for only a short time, such as PDF's to be attached to emails, can be saved to the PC.
Burning a CD or DVD
Files can be burned to a CD or DVD using the InfraRecorder program located in the Accessories and Utilities folder on the desktop.
Instructions.
Floppy Drive
These PCs do not have a floppy drive. An external USB floppy drive may be borrowed from the Service Desk.
