Page 18 highlights

Where to Go from Here Registering the Computer To protect your investment, be sure to follow the instructions to register your computer. Backing Up the System The hard drive preinstalled in your computer is partitioned into two or more logical drives, depending on the size of the hard drive. All the preinstalled software is in the primary partition, drive C. Compaq recommends that you use a backup program to create a backup of the preinstalled software. If you prefer, for an additional cost, you can order a backup of the preinstalled software on a CD-ROM or diskettes. If an order form was included with the computer, complete the form and return it, or call one of the numbers listed on the order form. If an order form was not included with the computer, refer to the Compaq worldwide telephone numbers in Appendix A, "Compaq Customer Support." NOTE: Have the computer serial number available when you call Compaq. The serial number is on the bottom of the computer. CAUTION: Replacing the preinstalled Windows operating system with a retail version will result in the loss of the Compaq value-add software and certain hardware functionality, such as PC Card support and enhanced power management, and may result in system lockups and loss of unsaved information.

The hard drive preinstalled in your computer is partitioned into
two or more logical drives, depending on the size of the hard
drive. All the preinstalled software is in the primary partition,
drive C. Compaq recommends that you use a backup program to
create a backup of the preinstalled software.
If you prefer, for an additional cost, you can order a backup of the
preinstalled software on a CD-ROM or diskettes. If an order form
was included with the computer, complete the form and return it,
or call one of the numbers listed on the order form. If an order
form was not included with the computer, refer to the Compaq
