To replace a damaged Recovery CD

If you lose or damage the Recovery CD, call the HP Customer Care Center—at
(970) 635-1000 in the U. S.—for information about replacing it.

To update the HP Notebook BIOS

Hewlett-Packard may provide updates to the BIOS to enhance the capabilities of the
computer. Updates will be available from HP Customer Care. Visit the technical support
area of the HP notebook Web site at http://www.hp.com/notebooks. Download the BIOS
update and follow the instructions in the README.TXT file on how to create the BIOS
update floppy disk.
Because a BIOS update replaces the previous version, it is important you follow
these instructions exactly. Otherwise, the computer may be damaged. The BIOS
update process resets the configuration settings in the BIOS Setup utility, and it
erases any BIOS passwords.
1. Remove any PC Cards.
2. If the notebook is docked, undock it.
3. Connect the AC adapter to the notebook.
4. Insert the BIOS update disk in the floppy disk drive.
5. Restart the computer.
6. Follow the onscreen instructions. This starts a process that takes approximately 1
minute. Once the update process begins, do not interrupt it.
7. When the process is completed, reboot the computer by pressing the system-off
button on the bottom of the notebook.
