Installing the Operating System
Depending on the model, Microsoft Windows XP Home or Windows XP Professional is 
preinstalled on the computer and will be configured automatically the first time the computer is 
turned on. 
Ä
CAUTION: Do not add optional hardware 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.
Ä
CAUTION: Once the automatic installation has begun, DO NOT TURN OFF THE COMPUTER UNTIL 
THE PROCESS IS COMPLETE. Turning off the computer during the installation process might damage the 
software that runs the computer.
1.1  Microsoft Windows XP
The first time the computer is turned on, Microsoft Windows is automatically installed. This 
takes approximately 10 minutes, depending on the system hardware configuration. Read and 
follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation.
 
During this process, 
do not turn off your computer unless you are directed to do so.
1.1.1  Installing or Upgrading Device Drivers 
To install optional hardware devices after the OS installation is completed, you must install the 
device drivers for the device you are installing. 
The I386 directory and its subdirectories provide the HP- or Compaq-specific integration of the 
operating system for the computer model and include device drivers supported by the operating 
system. 
When prompted for the I386 directory on the operating system CD, replace the path specification 
with C:\I386 or use the Browse button of the dialog box to browse the computer for the I386 
folder. This action points to the appropriate drivers. 
The latest support software is also available from the Web site at
