CAUTION Troubleshooting Your Computer Recovering and Reinstalling Software To replace a damaged Recovery CD If you lose or damage the Recovery CD, call the HP Customer Care Center for information about replacing it. See "To call the HP Customer Care Center" on page 126 for the phone number. To update the HP notebook BIOS Hewlett-Packard may provide updates to the BIOS to enhance the capabilities of the computer. Updates will be available from HP Customer Care. Visit the technical support area of the HP notebook website at www.hp.com/notebooks. Download the BIOS update and follow the instructions in the readme.txt file on how to create the BIOS update floppy disk. A BIOS update replaces the previous version, so it is important that you follow these instructions exactly. Otherwise, the computer may be damaged. The BIOS update process resets the configuration settings in the BIOS Setup utility, and it erases any BIOS passwords. 1. Remove any PC cards. 2. If the notebook is docked, undock it. 3. Connect the AC adapter to the notebook. 4. Insert the BIOS update disk in the floppy disk drive. 5. Restart the computer. 6. Follow the onscreen instructions. Once the update process begins, do not interrupt it. 7. When the process is completed, remove the BIOS update disk from the floppy disk drive and reboot the computer by pressing the system-off button on the left side of the notebook. To recover an application If you remove an application from your hard disk and later decide you want it back, or if you accidentally delete application files, you can reinstall the original software. The setup programs for most of the applications that were factory-installed on your system are included on your hard drive in c:\hp\programs. Each application has its own folder that includes a file of instructions (readme.txt). 120 Corporate Evaluator's Guide
