Setting Up the Computer
Making Recovery CDs
In the unlikely event that there is damage to the
hard disk drive, or you have to replace it, you
must use recovery CDs that you create to reinstall
the operating system and software. Make the
recovery CDs for your PC by using the Compaq
Recovery CD Creator now, before a need occurs.
Refer to “Using Compaq Recovery CD Creator”
on page 6–7. This program assembles the
necessary files and writes the information
onto CDs.
Working in Comfort
After assembling your computer, but before you
begin using it, make sure the computer and your
work area are properly set up to maintain your
comfort and productivity. Refer to the printed
Safety and Comfort Guide
included in your
literature pack.
To use the Compaq Recovery CD
Creator program, your PC must have
a CD-RW drive or other drive that can
write to CDs. If necessary, purchase a
Windows XP–compatible CD-RW drive
from a computer or electronic store.
