Getting Started with Your HP Notebook
Setting Up Your Computer
What to do next
Here are a few things you may want to try at this point:
•If you’re not familiar with the version of Windows installed on your computer, click Start, Help (Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, Tour Windows XP, or check the Windows manual to discover what’s new.
•If your computer shipment includes an expansion base and CD-ROM drive or similar drive, insert the drive in the right module bay—see “To replace a plug-in module” on page 46 for details. Then turn on the computer and insert it into the expansion base— see “To dock the computer” on page 40 for details.
•If your expansion base includes a DVD drive or CD-RW drive, you also received special software for the drive—find the software CD in the box. Click Start, Programs (Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, All Programs, Multimedia (Windows XP)—if the software isn’t listed, install it by inserting the CD in the drive. Follow the instructions displayed—run Setup on the CD if it doesn’t run automatically.

To connect to the Internet
If your computer has a modem (built-in, PC Card, or external), LAN port, or wireless LAN, you can use it to connect to the Internet. For details, see “Modem and Network Connections” in the online Reference Guide—click Start, Programs, HP Library (Windows 98 or 2000) or Start, Help and Support, HP Library (Windows XP).
