Using the Notebook PC

Operating System

This Notebook PC may offer (depending on territory) its customers the choice of a pre-installed operat-

ing 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 ap-

plications 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.
