Registering the Computer
To protect your investment, be sure to follow the instructions to
register your computer.
Backing Up the System
The hard drive preinstalled in your computer is partitioned into
two or more logical drives, depending on the size of the hard
drive. All the preinstalled software is in the primary partition,
drive C. Compaq recommends that you use a backup program to
create a backup of the preinstalled software.
If you prefer, for an additional cost, you can order a backup of the
preinstalled software on a CD-ROM or diskettes. If an order form
was included with the computer, complete the form and return it,
or call one of the numbers listed on the order form. If an order
form was not included with the computer, refer to the Compaq
worldwide telephone numbers in Appendix A, "Compaq
Customer Support."
Have the computer serial number available when you call
NOTE:
Compaq. The serial number is on the bottom of the computer.
CAUTION:
with a retail version will result in the loss of the Compaq value-add
software and certain hardware functionality, such as PC Card
support and enhanced power management, and may result in
system lockups and loss of unsaved information.
