Hint
If your computer does not turn on when operating on battery power, the battery may be
out of power. Plug in the AC adapter and press the standby button again.
To set up Windows
Your HP notebook has Microsoft Windows—either Windows 98, Windows 2000, or
Windows XP—preinstalled on the hard disk drive. The first time you turn on your
computer, a Windows Setup program will automatically run so that you can customize
your setup.
Before you begin, connect the AC adapter to your notebook, since your battery may not
be sufficiently charged to complete the Windows setup. Also, be sure to connect the
notebook to a phone line—see “To connect a phone line“ on page 25.

screen during setup.
