Ok, got my new TR3AP2.
First, do I or do I not have to burn a bunch of CD’s for System Restore??
Or is there a way to access the data if Windows crashes??
Second, instead of burning 10 CD’s can I use a few DVD’s?? And if so, DVD-R’s or DVD+R’s
Thanks

If you have a TR3AP2 u would not have an internal dvd burner..so do u have an external one for burning the dvd’s? If yes, then u should definitely burn dvd’s or just make a call to Sony tech support like I did and they’ll send u one free set.  :wink:

-/+ R depends on ur dvd writer. the internal one can burn only -R.

OK, I know it was implied but I thought I would throw it out there anyway.

Don’t rely solely on the partion, make some sort of backup, either CD or DVD, just in case.
