How to Fully Restore the Computer
A full restore reformats the hard drive and restores the
Compaq-provided operating system, software drivers, and certain
other software applications that were preinstalled at the factory by
Compaq. Depending on the operating system and the size of the hard
drive, this may take 40 minutes or more. It is normal for the progress
indicator or status bar to move slowly or appear to stop while copying
large files.

Before You Begin

If possible, you should try to back up any personal data files you
created and any files or software applications that were not
preinstalled by Compaq (onto a network drive or onto removable
media such as a diskette or compact disc).
Ä
CAUTION: Reformatting the hard drive erases all files and
does not restore any personal data files or software
applications not provided by Compaq. If you do not have a
backup, these files cannot be restored once they have been
erased.
How to Use the Compaq Restore Solution
1. Insert the Compaq Restore Plus! CD (white) into the primary
CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM, or DVD-R/RW drive.
2. Restart the computer.
