Restoring Software

If it ever becomes necessary, you can restore any or all of the software for the operating system and language you selected during initial setup. The software and instructions for restoring it are in the QuickRestore package included with the computer.

CAUTION: To prevent file corruption and ensure that the correct drivers install:

■Do not restore software while the computer is docked in a docking base.

■Plug the computer into an electrical outlet and do not unplug it.

■Do not shut down the computer.

■Do not remove or insert a drive.

Installing the Retail Version of an

Operating System

The Microsoft Windows operating system available during the original computer setup is enhanced by Compaq. The enhancements provide additional functionality in such areas as power management and the use of drives and PC Cards.

All Compaq enhancements can be obtained from the Compaq Support Software CD or from the Compaq Web site at http:/www.compaq.com.

CAUTION: Replacing a Compaq-enhanced operating system with a retail version will result in the loss of all enhancements added by Compaq. In some cases it may result in system lockups and loss of unsaved information. Most preinstalled reference files, such as Help files, are available only through a Windows interface. If the operating system is removed from the computer, these reference files become unavailable. In some cases, complete USB support is available only through the Windows interface.
