Installing the Operating System
CAUTION: Do not add optional hardware devices or third-party devices
to your computer until the operating system is successfully installed.
Doing so may cause errors and may prevent the operating system from
installing properly.
The first time you turn on your computer, you may be prompted to
select a language for your operating system (OS) and then you will
be asked to install your OS. You may have more than one choice of
OS. Once you have selected an OS, you must install it completely.
Read and follow the instructions on the screen to complete the
installation of the OS.
If electing to use an OS different than what was shipped with your
system, refer to the following support Web site locations for
additional support that may be available.

CAUTION: During the OS installation process, do not turn off your computer
unless you are directed to do so.
If your system has a CD-RW drive, you must install the appropriate
application to be able to write to the drive. To install the drivers,
double-click the Setup Compaq Software icon on the desktop or the
application launcher and select the Easy CD Creator and Direct CD
option when prompted.
