CAUTION: Replacing an operating system that is enhanced by
Compaq with a retail version will result in the loss of all Compaq
enhancements. In some cases, the loss of these enhancements might
result in an unresponsive system or the loss of complete USB support.
A Windows operating system provided on the notebook or on
a CD is optimized by Compaq to improve overall system
performance. Compaq recommends that you do not install a retail
version in place of this operating system.
