audio files stored on your computer or backing up important data. For help, open Roxio Creator Plus,
and then click the question mark icon in the upper-right corner of the window.
How to Copy a CD or DVD
NOTE: CD-RW/DVD combo drives cannot write to DVD media. If you have a CD-RW/DVD combo drive and you
experience recording problems, check for available software patches on the Sonic support website at
www.sonic.com.
The DVD-writable drives installed in Dell computers can write to and read DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW and
DVD+R DL (dual layer) media, but cannot write to and may not read DVD-RAM or DVD-R DL media.
NOTE: Most commercial DVDs have copyright protection and cannot be copied using Roxio Creator Plus.
1 Click the Start button, point to All Programs→ Roxio→ Creator Projects, and then click RecordNow
Copy.
2 Under the Copy tab, click Disc Copy.
3 To copy the CD or DVD:
• If you have one CD/DVD drive, ensure that the settings are correct and click the Disc Copy button.
The computer reads your source CD or DVD and copies the data to a temporary folder on your
computer hard drive.
When prompted, insert a blank CD or DVD into the drive and click OK.
• If you have two CD/DVD drives, select the drive into which you have inserted your source CD or
DVD and click the Disc Copy button. The computer copies the data from the source CD or DVD
to the blank CD or DVD.
Once you have finished copying the source CD or DVD, the CD or DVD that you have created
automatically ejects.
Using Blank CDs and DVDs
CD-RW drives can write to CD recording media only (including high-speed CD-RW media) while
DVD-writable drives can write to both CD and DVD recording media.
Use blank CD-Rs to record music or permanently store data files. After the maximum storage capacity of
a CD-R is reached, you cannot write to that CD-R again (see the Sonic documentation for more
information). Use blank CD-RWs if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information on the CD later.
Blank DVD+/-Rs can be used to permanently store large amounts of data. After you create a DVD+/-R
disc, you may not be able to write to that disc again if the disc is finalized or closed during the final stage
of the disc creation process. Use blank DVD+/-RWs if you plan to erase, rewrite, or update information
on the disc later.30 Setting Up and Using Your Computer

Helpful Tips
• Use Microsoft®
Windows®
Explorer to drag and drop files to a CD-R or CD-RW only after you start
Roxio Creator Plus and open a Creator project.
• Use CD-Rs to burn music CDs that you want to play in regular stereos. CD-RWs may not play in
many home or car stereos.
• You cannot create audio DVDs with Roxio Creator Plus.
• Music MP3 files can be played only on MP3 players or on computers that have MP3 software installed.
• Commercially available DVD players used in home theater systems may not support all available DVD
formats. For a list of formats supported by your DVD player, see the documentation provided with your
DVD player or contact the manufacturer.
• Do not burn a blank CD-R or CD-RW to its maximum capacity; for example, do not copy a 650-MB
file to a blank 650-MB CD. The CD-RW drive needs 1–2 MB of blank space to finalize the recording.
• Use a blank CD-RW to practice CD recording until you are familiar with CD recording techniques. If
you make a mistake, you can erase the data on the CD-RW and try again. You can also use blank
CD-RWs to test music file projects before you record the project permanently to a blank CD-R.

To use the Media Card Reader:
1 Check the media or card to determine the proper orientation for insertion.
2 Slide the media or card into the appropriate slot until it is completely seated in the connector.
If you encounter resistance, do not force the media or card. Check the card orientation and try again.
IEEE 1394 (Optional)
IEEE 1394 is a digital interface that can move large amounts of data between computers and peripheral
devices. IEEE 1394 is ideal for use with multimedia devices because it speeds the transfer of data and
large files, which enables a computer to connect directly to devices such as digital video cameras.
NOTE: The connector can accept 4-pin IEEE 1394 devices with the use of an adapter.
Your computer may have an optional front IEEE 1394 connector. This connector is only available if you
purchased an add-in card that uses IEEE 1394. To purchase a card, contact Dell.
Power Management
Overview
The Microsoft®
Windows®
XP power management features can reduce the amount of electricity your
computer uses when it is on and you are not using it. You can reduce power to just the monitor or the
hard drive, or you can use standby mode or hibernate mode to reduce power to the entire computer.
When the computer exits from a power conservation mode, it returns to the operating state it was in
prior to entering the mode.
NOTE: Windows XP Professional includes security and networking features not available in Windows XP Home
Edition. When a Windows XP Professional computer is connected to a network, different options related to security
and networking appear in certain windows.
NOTE: The procedures to activate the standby and hibernate modes may vary according to your operating system.
Standby Mode
Standby mode conserves power by turning off the display and the hard drive after a designated period of
time, known as a time-out. When the computer exits from standby mode, it returns to the operating
state it was in prior to entering standby mode.
NOTICE: If your computer loses power while in standby mode, it may lose data.
NOTICE: The graphics card in your computer is installed in the PCI Express x16 slot. When there is a card in this
slot and you add a peripheral that does not support s3 suspend, your computer will not enter standby mode.
To set standby mode to automatically activate after a defined period of inactivity:
1 Click the Start button, then click Control Panel.
2 Define your standby settings on the Power Schemes Tab and Advanced Tab.Setting Up and Using Your Computer 33
To immediately activate standby mode without a period of inactivity, click the Start button,
click Turn Off Computer, and then click Stand by.
To exit from standby mode, press a key on the keyboard or move the mouse.
Hibernate Mode
Hibernate mode conserves power by copying system data to a reserved area on the hard drive, and then
completely turning off the computer. When the computer exits from hibernate mode, the desktop is
restored to the state it was in prior to entering hibernate mode.
To activate hibernate mode:
1 Click the Start button, then click Control Panel.
2 Define your hibernate settings on the Power Schemes Tab, Advanced Tab and Hibernate Tab.
To exit from hibernate mode, press the power button. The computer may take a short time to exit from
hibernate mode. Because the keyboard and the mouse do not function when the computer is in
hibernate mode, pressing a key on the keyboard or moving the mouse does not bring the computer out of
hibernation.
Because hibernate mode requires a special file on your hard drive with enough disk space to store the
contents of the computer memory, Dell creates an appropriately sized hibernate mode file before
shipping the computer to you. If the computer’s hard drive becomes corrupted, Windows XP recreates
the hibernate file automatically.
Power Options Properties
Define your standby mode settings, hibernate mode settings, and other power settings in the
Power Options Properties window. To access the Power Options Properties window:
1 Click the Start button, then click Control Panel.
2 Define your power settings on the Power Schemes Tab, Advanced Tab and Hibernate Tab.
Power Schemes Tab
Each standard power setting is called a scheme. If you want to select one of the standard Windows
schemes installed on your computer, choose a scheme from the Power schemes drop-down menu. The
settings for each scheme appear in the fields below the scheme name. Each scheme has different settings
for starting standby mode, hibernate mode, turning off the monitor, and turning off the hard drive.
NOTICE: If you set the hard drive to time-out before the monitor does, your computer may appear to be locked up.
To recover, press any key on the keyboard or click the mouse. To avoid this problem, always set the monitor to
time-out before the hard drive.
The Power schemes drop-down menu displays the following schemes:
• Always On (default) — If you want to use your computer with no power conservation.
• Home/Office Desk — If you use your computer as a home or office computer and you require minimal
power conservation.34 Setting Up and Using Your Computer
• Minimal Power Management — If you want your computer to run with minimal power conservation.
• Max Battery — If your computer is a portable computer and you run your computer from batteries for
extended periods of time.
If you want to change the default settings for a scheme, click the drop-down menu in the Turn off
monitor, Turn off hard disks, System stand by, or System hibernates field, and then select a time-out
from the displayed list. Changing the time-out for a scheme field permanently changes the default
settings for that scheme, unless you click Save As and enter a new name for the changed scheme.
Advanced Tab
The Advanced tab allows you to:
• Place the power options icon in the Windows taskbar for quick access.
• Set the computer to prompt you for your Windows password before the computer exits from standby
mode or hibernate mode.
• Program the power button to activate standby mode, activate hibernate mode, or turn off the
computer.
To program these functions, click an option from the corresponding drop-down menu and click OK.
Hibernate Tab
The Hibernate tab allows you to enable hibernate mode. If you want to use the hibernate settings as
defined on the Power Schemes tab, click the Enable hibernate support check box on the Hibernate tab.
For more information on power management options:
1 Click the Start button, then click Help and Support.
2 In the Help and Support window, click Performance and maintenance.
3 In the Performance and maintenance window, click Conserving power on your computer.
Cleaning Your Computer
CAUTION: Before you perform any of the procedures in this section, follow the safety instructions in the Product
Information Guide.
Cleaning the Computer, Keyboard, and Monitor
CAUTION: Before you clean your computer, disconnect the computer from the electrical outlet. Clean your
computer with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain
flammable substances.
• Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment to gently remove dust from the slots and holes on your
computer and from between the keys on the keyboard.Setting Up and Using Your Computer 35
NOTICE: Do not wipe the display screen with any soap or alcohol solution. Doing so may damage the antiglare
coating.
• To clean your monitor screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special
screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the monitor’s antistatic coating.
• Wipe the keyboard, computer, and plastic part of the monitor with a soft cleaning cloth moistened
with a solution of three parts water and one part dishwashing detergent.
Do not soak the cloth or let water drip inside your computer or keyboard.
Cleaning the Mouse
If your screen cursor skips or moves abnormally, clean the mouse. To clean a non-optical mouse:
1 Turn the retainer ring on the underside of your mouse counterclockwise, and then remove the ball.
2 Wipe the ball with a clean, lint-free cloth.
3 Blow carefully into the ball cage to dislodge dust and lint.
4 If the rollers inside the ball cage are dirty, clean the rollers with a cotton swab moistened lightly with
isopropyl alcohol.
5 Recenter the rollers in their channels if they are misaligned. Ensure that fluff from the swab is not left
on the rollers.
6 Replace the ball and retainer ring, and then turn the retainer ring clockwise until it clicks into place.
Cleaning the Floppy Drive
NOTICE: Do not attempt to clean drive heads with a swab. You might accidentally misalign the heads, which
prevents the drive from operating.
Clean your floppy drive using a commercially available cleaning kit. These kits contain pretreated
floppies to remove contaminants that accumulate during normal operation.
Cleaning CDs and DVDs
NOTICE: Always use compressed air to clean the lens in the CD/DVD drive, and follow the instructions that come
with the compressed air. Never touch the lens in the drive.
If you notice problems, such as skipping, with the playback quality of your CDs or DVDs, try cleaning
the discs.
1 Hold the disc by its outer edge. You can also touch the inside edge of the center hole.
NOTICE: To prevent damaging the surface, do not wipe in a circular motion around the disc.
2 With a soft, lint-free cloth, gently wipe the bottom of the disc (the unlabeled side) in a straight line
from the center to the outer edge of the disc.
For stubborn dirt, try using water or a diluted solution of water and mild soap. You can also purchase
commercial products that clean discs and provide some protection from dust, fingerprints, and
scratches. Cleaning products for CDs are safe to use on DVDs.36 Setting Up and Using Your ComputerOptimizing Performance 37
Optimizing Performance
Hyper-Threading
Hyper-Threading is an Intel®
technology that can enhance overall computer performance by
allowing one physical processor to function as two logical processors, capable of performing certain
tasks simultaneously. It is recommended that you use the Microsoft®
Windows®
XP Service Pack 1
(SP1) or later operating system because Windows XP is optimized to take advantage of HyperThreading technology. While many programs can benefit from Hyper-Threading, some programs
have not been optimized for Hyper-Threading and may require an update from the software
manufacturer. Contact the software manufacturer for updates and information about using
Hyper-Threading with your software.
To determine if your computer is using Hyper-Threading technology:
1 Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2 Click Hardware, then click Device Manager.
3 In the Device Manager window, click the plus (+) sign next to Processors. If Hyper-Threading is
enabled, the processor is listed twice.
You can enable or disable Hyper-Threading through system setup. For more information on accessing
system setup, see "Entering System Setup" on page 127. For more information on Hyper-Threading,
search the Knowledge Base on the Dell Support website at support.dell.com.
About Your RAID Configuration
This section provides an overview of the RAID configuration you may have selected when you
purchased your computer. There are several RAID configurations are available in the computer
industry for different types of uses. Your Dell Dimension™ computer supports RAID level 0 and
RAID level 1. A RAID level 0 configuration is recommended for high-performance programs or
gaming, and a RAID level 1 configuration is recommended for users that desire a high level of data
integrity, such as that required in digital photography and audio.
NOTE: RAID levels do not represent a hierarchy. A RAID level 1 configuration is not inherently better or worse
than a RAID level 0 configuration.
The drives in a RAID configuration should be the same size in order to ensure that the larger drive
does not contain unallocated (and therefore unusable) space.38 Optimizing Performance
RAID Level 0 Configuration
NOTICE: Because RAID level 0 configurations provide no data redundancy, a failure of one drive results in the loss
of all data (the data on the remaining drive is also inaccessible). Therefore, ensure that you perform regular
backups when you use a RAID level 0 configuration.
A RAID level 0 configuration uses a storage technique known as data striping to provide a high data
access rate. Data striping is a method of writing consecutive segments, or stripes, of data sequentially
across the physical drives to create a large virtual drive. Data striping allows one of the drives to read data
while the other drive is searching for and reading the next block.
Another advantage of a RAID level 0 configuration is that it utilizes the full storage capacities of the
drives. For example, two 120-GB drives combine to provide 240 GB of hard drive space on which to store
data.
NOTE: In a RAID level 0 configuration, the size of the configuration is equal to the size of the smallest drive
multiplied by the number of drives in the configuration.
RAID Level 1 Configuration
A RAID level 1 configuration uses a data-redundancy storage technique known as mirroring to enhance
data integrity. When data is written to the primary drive, the data is also duplicated, or mirrored, on the
second drive in the configuration. RAID level 1 sacrifices high data-access rates for its data redundancy
advantages.

If a drive failure occurs, subsequent read and write operations are directed to the surviving drive.
A replacement drive can then be rebuilt using the data from the surviving drive.
NOTE: In a RAID level 1 configuration, the size of the configuration is equal to the size of the smallest drive in the
configuration.
Configuring Your Computer for RAID
Your computer can be configured for RAID, even if you did not select a RAID configuration when the
computer was purchased. You must have at least two hard drives installed in your computer to set up a
RAID configuration. For an explanation of RAID levels, see "About Your RAID Configuration" on
page 37. For instructions on how to install a hard drive, see "Installing a Hard Drive" on page 106.
You can use one of two methods to configure RAID hard drive volumes. The first method uses the Intel®
RAID Option ROM utility and is performed before you install the operating system onto the hard drive.
The second method uses the Intel Matrix Storage Manager, or Intel Matrix Storage Console, and is
performed after you have installed the operating system and the Intel Matrix Storage Console.
Both methods require that you set your computer to RAID-enabled mode before beginning any of the
RAID configuration procedures in this document.
Setting Your Computer to RAID-Enabled Mode
1 Enter system setup (see "Entering System Setup" on page 127).
2 Press the up- and down-arrow keys to highlight Drives, then press
