Windows® Quick Install Guide
1. Insert the Windows ME/2000 CD into the CD-ROM drive.
2. A T API CD-ROM Drive must be set to boot before the Hard Drive in BIOS setup (press F2 during boot)
or press Esc and select “ATAPI CD-ROM Drive” (use the up and down arrows and press Enter)
NOTE: You may be prompted to press a key to boot from the CD. Failure to do so will result in
booting from your next boot device.
3. Press Enter to Setup Windows and press F8 after you have read and accepted the Licensing Agreement.
4. Windows ME: If you have an existing OS, you can choose to install Windows ME in another
directory in order to preserve your existing OS. You will be given an OS choice each time you boot
up your Notebook PC. If you currently use Windows 95/98 and wish to preserve your installed
applications and settings, “upgrade” Windows by installing into your existing directory.
Windows 2000: If you have a previous OS, press ESC to install a fresh copy of Windows 2000.
Follow the next screens to partition your hard drive. Use the “NTFS” file system for increased
functionality. Installing in the same partition as an existing OS will give you a choice to format or
leave intact. If you leave intact without formatting, you will be given an OS choice each time you
boot up your Notebook PC.
5. After you install Windows, insert the Notebook PC support CD to install drivers and utilities.

Support CD for Windows ME & 2000
The Notebook PC you purchased may or may not be preloaded with an operating system. The support CD
included with this Notebook PC provides all the necessary drivers and utilities in order for you to use your
Notebook PC with Microsoft® Windows® 95/98/ME/2000/NT4.0 (referred to as “Windows” in this User’s
Manual).
This Notebook PC offers its customers the choice of a pre-installed operating system such as Microsoft
Windows ME (Millennium Edition) or Windows 2000. The choices and languages will depend on the
territory . The levels of hardware and software support may vary depending on the installed operating system.
Operating systems not pre-installed on this Notebook PC may produce different results than the ones described in the provided user’s manuals.
If your Notebook PC is not preloaded with any operating system, or you want to install another operating
system other than the preloaded one, the following pages will give step-by-step installation procedures for
typical system configurations under the Windows
online help provided with each of the applications after installation. The following is what you will see when
you insert the support CD. If the autorun menu does not appear, double clicking the CD-ROM disc drive icon
in “My Computer” (may be the (D:) drive or (E:) drive on hard drives with two partitions) or running
SETUP.EXE (through Start menu “Run...”) located in the root of the support CD, will bring up the autorun
menu.

Drivers for Windows ME & 2000
The following are descriptions of what each autorun menu item does when selected with the mouse. Due to
ongoing improvements in the support CD, there may be some differences between this User’s Manual and
your support CD. The names in quotations are the actual driver names displayed in the System Properties of
MS Windows. Windows cannot contain all the device drivers from every manufacturer, with every update;
therefore the provided support CD will contain the best driver for your built-in devices and should be used in
place of any Windows default drivers.
VGA Driver (required)

in graphics and to provide optimal features. Once the display driver is installed, you can change your display’s

Display from the Control Panel. See this section for basic procedures on setting the display . Read the Windows documentation or Windows help files for detailed information if necessary.

your PC virus-free. This very powerful anti-virus software is bundled with each Notebook PC to protect your

Configuring the Network Device
The network device has the ability to send and receive packets at the same time (full-duplexing) at both 10
and 100 Mbps. In order to reap the benefits of full duplexing, you MUST have a full duplex hub or switch.
The network device has the added ability to “talk” to the hub or switch and determine at which mode to
communicate (either full or half duplex). This is called auto-negotiation. You must have an auto-negotiating
hub or switch to get full duplex support with the Duplex Mode set to Auto. If you don’t have an auto-
negotiating hub or switch and want to run at full duplex, set Duplex Mode to Full and then set the SPEED
parameter to either 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps.
