HP Compaq 6735b Getting Started

4 Getting Started
Basic Setup
6 Set up the software
After the computer is turned on, the software setup process begins. The on-screen
instructions guide you through setting up and registering your computer. After you respond to
the setup prompt, you must complete the entire setup process without interruption.
✎
Please select your language carefully. On some models, the languages you do not
choose are deleted from the system and cannot be restored during software setup.
7 Create recovery discs
After setting up the computer for the first time, be sure to create a set of recovery discs of the
full factory image. The recovery discs are used to start up (boot) the computer and recover the
operating system and software to factory settings in case of system instability or failure.
Note the following guidelines before creating recovery discs:
■ Use any of the following types of discs: CD-R, DVD+R, DVD+R DL, DVD-R, or
DVD-R DL (purchased separately). The discs you use will depend on the type of optical
drive installed in your computer. Because DVDs store more information than CDs,
DVDs and DVDs with double-layer (DL) support reduce the number of discs required.
✎
Read-write discs, such as CD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD-RW discs, are not
compatible with HP Backup & Recovery Manager.
■ The computer must be connected to AC power during the process.
■ Only one set of the recovery discs can be created per computer.
■ Number each disc before inserting it into the optical drive of the computer.
■ If necessary, you can cancel the disc creation before you have finished creating the
recovery discs. The next time you create recovery discs, you will be prompted to
continue the disc creation.
To create a set of recovery discs:
1. Click Start, click All Programs, click HP Backup & Recovery, and then click
Backup & Recovery Manager.
2. Click Next.
3. In Windows Vista—Click Create a set of recovery discs (Recommended), and then
click Next.
In Windows XP—Click Create factory software recovery CDs or DVDs to recover
the system (Highly Recommended), and then click Next.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
