To change the boot device
The computer normally boots from its internal hard disk. You can also boot the computer
from a floppy disk drive in the module bay, a CD-ROM or similar drive in the module
bay, or an internal network interface card.
1. Click Start, Shut Down (or Turn Off Computer), Restart.
2. When the HP logo appears, press ESC to display the Boot menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the boot device, and press ENTER.
If you want to boot from a specific device whenever it is present, change the boot order
using the BIOS Setup utility—see “To run the BIOS Setup utility” on page 50.

1. Pointing stick (pressure-sensitive pointing device).
2. Click buttons and scroll button. The click buttons work like the left and right buttons
on a standard mouse. The scroll button scrolls the contents of a window.
3. Touch pad (touch-sensitive pointing device).
