Software Updates and Restorations

Reinstalling Applications from the Driver Recovery CD or an Application Recovery CD

Use the following procedure to restore or reinstall the software on either the Driver Recovery CD or an Application Recovery CD. Compaq recommends that you restore software first from the Driver Recovery CD and then from any Application Recovery CDs included with your notebook.

To reinstall a preloaded or preinstalled application from the Driver Recovery CD or an Application Recovery CD:

»While running Windows, insert the CD into the optical drive, and then follow the instructions on the screen. (When you are prompted to select the applications you want to reinstall, select or clear the appropriate check boxes.)

If the CD does not open within several seconds, select Start > Run. Type D:\SWSETUP\APPINSTL\SETUP.EXE (where D indicates the optical drive) into the Open text field, and then select OK.

Repairing or Reinstalling the

Operating System

The Operating System Recovery CD included with your notebook can be used to repair or to reinstall the operating system. Both operations might take a few hours to complete.

Repairing the operating system preserves your data and settings.

Reinstalling the operating system deletes all files on the notebook. After the operating system has been reinstalled, all drivers required for notebook functionality must be reinstalled. To fully restore your system, you will also need to reinstall all other software that is not a part of the operating system.
