No manual on how to use my blu ray

[LynyrdSkynyrdFrynd]

1) i purchased a dell xps studio 1640 laptop,dell says they no longer send user manuals with new computers, download version only 2) i went to see the pdf files and other version of manual and says nothing about my blu ray slot load panasonic uj235a bd-re 3) i have vista home premium 64 bit. With roxio creator de 10.2 and power dvd dx..windows media center 11.. 4) i never have known how to record a movie from my slot load drive ,whether regular dvd ,or blu ray as my optical drive is a read and write blu ray ,bd-re ... When i originally purchased this laptop , i was told i could save movie to my laptop, then record the movie as well.. I'm not very literate on how to do this and what kind of disc would be the best to record on as well. Like the best regualr disc and the best blu- ray to record on as well.. 5) i need a step by step process , how to save a movie to my laptop and to learn how to record the movie as well..also in the step by step instructions for me (computer iliterate) can i watch the movie at same time that it is being saved to the laptop..and vice versa can i save to laptop without watching movie then record it to a disc later.. 6) please if you can post a link of a step by step process of how to do all the above , for i'm never have did this before.. Wished i would have gotten a user manual... Thanks in advance for all reply's that can help me with these task, and what software i listed should use to watch or record to laptop as well..
