Removing the Operating System
Either Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows NT
Workstation is preinstalled on the computer.
Compaq has enhanced the preinstalled versions of these operating
systems to provide you with additional software features and
increased computer functionality.
Before deleting the operating system preinstalled on the computer,
please read the following Caution:
CAUTION:
■
Replacing the preinstalled Windows 95 or Windows NT
operating system with a retail version will result in the loss of
all enhancements added by Compaq such as PC Card support
and enhanced power management.
■
Installing the retail version of Windows NT may result in
system lockups and loss of unsaved information.
■
Most preinstalled reference files, such as Help files, are
available only through the Windows 95 or Windows NT
interface. If Windows 95 or Windows NT is removed from the
computer, these reference files will become unavailable.
■
Complete USB support is available only through the Windows
95 or Windows NT interface. If the operating system
preinstalled on the computer is replaced by an operating
system other than Windows 95 or Windows NT, USB support
will be decreased.
Restoring Your Operating System and Software
Preinstalled by Compaq
Your computer comes preinstalled with either Windows 95 or
Windows NT Workstation 4.0. In addition to the operating
system, Compaq installs other software to provide additional
functionality or enhancements. If it is necessary to reinstall the
operating system and you do not want to lose these enhancements,
it will also be necessary to reinstall all Compaq software for your
computer. Contact Compaq customer support for more
information on this additional software and the various tools
available to help reinstall.
