    user’s guide 

1 Turn off the PC. If necessary, press and hold the On button until the PC 

turns off. 

2 Disconnect all peripheral devices from the PC except the monitor, the 

keyboard, and the mouse. 

3 Press the On button to turn the PC on. 
4 During the startup, do the following to enter the System Recovery program: 

When the black screen with the Compaq logo appears, press the F10 key on 
the keyboard. (You have only a few seconds to press the F10 key before the 
normal startup process continues.) 

5 The PC starts the recovery; wait for the onscreen instructions to display, and 

then follow those instructions. 

6 Complete the PC startup, and finish the registration process. Then reconnect 

all peripheral devices. 

 

Make your own recovery CDs/DVDs before you need them; recovery discs are 
not included with your PC. See “creating recovery cds/dvds” on page 79. 

The recovery discs provide two recovery options: 

• 

: This option recovers factory-shipped programs, drivers, 

and the operating system without affecting any data files that you may have 
created since purchasing this PC. Some data files may be difficult to find after 
the System Recovery, so it is best to back up all hard disk drive files before 
performing a System Recovery. 

• 

: This recovery function completely erases and 

reformats the hard disk drive. The program performs a full System Recovery 
to reinstall the operating system, programs, and drivers from the recovery 
discs. However, you must reinstall any software that was not installed on the 
PC at the factory. This includes software that came on CDs included in the PC 
accessory box, and software programs you installed since your purchase. 

 If your PC has a blank or corrupted hard disk drive, you will see only the 

full System Recovery option.
