If you do not have this CD set, create it now. Refer to the HP Backup and Recovery Manager User Guide in the Windows Start menu for more information. You may wish to print this guide for easy reference. 1. Remove/disengage any security devices that prohibit opening the computer. 2. Remove all removable media, such as diskettes or compact discs, from the computer. 3. Turn off the computer properly through the operating system, then turn off any external devices. 4.
