Getting Information and Updates

Warranty and Support Guide

The Warranty and Support Guide describes the Compaq

commitment to repair or replace parts during the computer’s

warranty period and lists important Compaq telephone numbers.

In the event of a mechanical problem, contact Compaq, not the

retailer who sold you the computer. Keep the guide in a safe place

for future reference.

Replacing Parts and Upgrading

For hardware upgrade and installation instructions, see Chapter 6,

“Upgrading the Computer.”

If you have a problem and can’t resolve it after referring to this

information and to the Compaq Web site, contact Technical

Support. If the technician determines a replacement part is

necessary, you will receive the replacement part, with illustrated

instructions for removing the factory-installed part and replacing

it.

Locating SoftPaq Information

You can download original product drivers as well as the latest

updates and software fixes (known as SoftPaqs™) by going to the

Web site compaq.com/consumersupport and choosing “Drivers

& Downloads.”

When prompted, be prepared to enter your computer’s product

type, model, series, and operating system to access the SoftPaqs

for your computer. Follow the instructions in the Readme.txt file

or at the download site to install your software update.

Compaq can also deliver SoftPaqs automatically if you activate

Compaq Update. Press the Internet Help Gbutton on your

keyboard for further information and direct access to SoftPaqs.

Getting Started 2–1

Using the Computer

The operation of your computer is controlled by two kinds of

software:

■Software applications, such as Microsoft Works, which

perform specific functions

■The Microsoft Windows operating system, which governs the

interaction of the computer’s hardware, peripherals, and

software applications

You will find information about using applications and Microsoft

Windows in the printed manuals and online Help that accompany

them. For Microsoft Windows, you can also press the Internet

Help Gbutton on your keyboard to access the built-in Compaq

Help & Support Center.

This chapter provides introductory information about your

computer’s hardware. For more details, see Chapter 6,

“Upgrading the Computer.”

Using the Diskette Drive

The diskette drive (also known as a floppy drive) uses a 3½"

diskette (or floppy disk) to store files. A diskette can hold up to

1.44 MB of data. Once information is copied onto a diskette, it

remains until you delete or overwrite it.

getting_started_6000.book Page 1 Thursday, August 1, 2002 8:37 AM

2–2 Getting Started

Using the Computer

■To insert a diskette, hold it with the label facing up and the

arrow on the diskette pointing toward the drive; then gently

push the diskette into the drive.

Inserting and Removing a Diskette



drive.

ÄCAUTION: Wait until the diskette drive activity is complete (the

activity light 2stops glowing) before removing a diskette. Removing

a diskette when the drive is reading from or writing to the diskette

can damage the diskette or the information stored on it.

Remove the diskette from the drive prior to shutting down

Microsoft Windows, so that Windows will run when you restart.

Using the Hard Drive

You can store computer operating files, applications, data,

Internet files, and personal files on your hard drive.

As you create and save files, download information from the

Internet, install applications, or receive email messages and

attachments, your hard drive storage space diminishes. The

amount of information you can store on your computer’s hard

drive depends on the size of the drive, so you may want to check

the available space before installing an application or copying a

large amount of data.

To Check Hard Disk Space

Using the Computer

3. Click the hard disk drive you are checking.

4. Notice the amount of free space listed in the Details area and

make sure it is enough for your application or data.

Using the CD or DVD Drive

Your computer may have one or two optical drives—CD-ROM,

CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and/or DVD+R/RW drives—depending on

the model you purchased. These drives allow you to perform

several different activities, such as storing information, listening

to music, or viewing and creating movies.

DVD-ROM and DVD+R/RW drives take longer to begin

playback than CD drives because they must determine the type of

media being played. If any of the drives fails to play a disc, check

to make sure that the disc is inserted with the label facing up

(facing left on tower models) and properly seated in the drive.

2–4 Getting Started

Using the Computer

Support for Disc Types

You can use several different types of optical discs with your CD

or DVD drives. The type of drive in your computer and the type

of disc you use determine what you can do. For example, you can

listen to music, but not record it, if you use a CD-ROM disc in the

CD drive. On the other hand, you can record and play back a

DVD movie if you use a DVD+R or DVD+RW disc in the

DVD+R/RW drive.

✎A DVD+R disc is compatible with more DVD set-top players

than a DVD+RW disc. Consult with your DVD player’s

manufacturer to determine what discs it can use.
