To prepare for software installation
It is recommended you repartition your hard disk before installing Windows NT 4.0.

diagnostics to make support easier. Hewlett-Packard also recommends that you start with
an empty hard drive before installing any operating system. This will help reduce
complications in the future.

3. Insert the bootable Recovery CD into the CD-ROM/DVD drive.
4. Reboot, press ESC when you see the HP notebook logo.
