Step 5: Set up Windows
Your notebook computer has Microsoft Windows preinstalled on its hard disk drive. The
first time you turn on your computer, the Windows Setup program runs automatically so
you can customize your setup.
1. Follow the Setup program’s instructions as they appear on the screen. If the program
prompts you to enter the Product ID code, you will find this code on the bottom of the
computer.
2. If you connected the modem, check the modem’s country or region settings:
•
Windows XP: click Start, Control Panel, Printers and Other Hardware, Phone and
Modem Options, and then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
•
Windows 2000: click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-click Phone and
Modem Options, and then click Edit on the Dialing Rules tab.
Step 6: Register your notebook
Be sure to register your computer. Registering is free and fast, and ensures you will
receive quicker, more personalized support. The information you provide during
registration allows us to provide you with better products and services.
Registering your computer does the following:
•
Records your ownership of the computer with Hewlett-Packard and provides access
to service, support, and information.
•
Records your ownership of the Windows XP operating system with Microsoft. If you
have Windows 2000, please contact Microsoft separately to register the operating
system.
If you decide not to register during Windows setup, choose the option to print the
registration form, and then fax it to HP at the fax number on the form. Or you can register
by calling HP Customer Care—see “To contact HP for support or service”on page 154 to
find the phone number.
