HP Setup Program
Follow these instructions to check your PC’s configuration when you
first use the PC:
First, Turn On or Restart
Your PC
If your PC is off, turn on the display and then the PC.
If the PC is already turned on, save your data, exit all programs and
restart your PC. For Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95 or Windows 98, use
the
Shut Down Restart your computer
command in the
Start
menu. This
command will automatically exit the operating system and restart the
PC. For operating systems such as Windows NT 3.51, you must exit the
operating system, then manually switch off and then on the PC.

Device Boot Order
Boot Menu for the Current Startup
NOTE
You can only change the current startup boot device order on VEi 7
(Celeron-equipped) models.
The current startup Boot menu gives the order of devices which the PC
attempts to start or “boot” from (for example, the floppy drive first, the
CD-ROM drive second, the hard disk drive third, and lastly the
network). From this menu you can choose the device to boot from
for
the current startup .
