Using the Notebook PC
Operating System
This Notebook PC may offer (depending on territory) its customers the choice of a pre-installed operating
system such as Microsoft Windows XP. The choices and languages will depend on the territory. The
levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system. The
stability and compatibility of other operating systems cannot be guaranteed.
Support Software
This Notebook PC comes with a support CD that provides BIOS,
drivers and applications to enable hardware features, extend
functionality, help manage your Notebook PC, or add functionality
not provided by the native operating system. If updates or
replacement of the support CD is necessary, contact your dealer
for web sites to download individual software drivers and utilities.
The support CD contains all drivers, utilities and software for all popular operating systems including
those that have been pre-installed. The support CD does not include the operating system itself. The
support CD is necessary even if your Notebook PC came pre-configured in order to provide additional
software not included as part of the factory pre-install.
A recovery CD is optional and includes an image of the original operating system installed on the hard
drive at the factory. The recovery CD provides a comprehensive recovery solution that quickly restores
the Notebook PC’s operating system to its original working state provided that your hard disk drive is
in good working order. Contact your retailer if you require such a solution.
Note: Some of the Notebook PC’s components and features may not work until the
device drivers and utilities are installed.
Automatic Touchpad Disabling
(on selected models)
Notebook PC models with newer chipsets will
automatically disable the Notebook PC’s touchpad when
an external USB mouse is attached. To turn OFF this
feature, deselect the option in Windows Control Panel
- Mouse Properties - Device Settings.
