Understanding hard disk drive space
The hard disk drive on the Hewlett-Packard and Compaq computers with the Microsoft® Windows operating system preinstalled may appear to be smaller than the size stated in the product specifications, in the documentation, or on the box. Hard disk drives are described and advertised by manufacturers in terms of decimal (base 10) capacity. Microsoft Windows and other programs, such as FDISK, use the binary (base 2) numbering system.
In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is equal to 1,000,000 bytes, and one gigabyte (GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. In the binary numbering system, one megabyte is equal to 1,048,576 bytes, and one gigabyte is equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. Because of the different measuring systems, you may see a difference between the size reported by Microsoft Windows and the size advertised. The storage capacity of the hard disk drive is as advertised.
Microsoft Windows reports smaller capacity in the Windows Explorer tool and in the computer window because it shows information about one partition on the hard disk drive at a time. One of the partitions contains the System Recovery information.

If you are using an external audio system, plug it into the Audio Out connector on the back panel.
Using the HP TouchSmart with safety and comfort
Before you begin using the computer, arrange the computer and your work area to maintain your comfort and productivity. Refer to the Safety & Comfort Guide for important ergonomic information:
Visit www.hp.com/ergo on the Web.
WARNING! To reduce the risk of serious injury, read the Safety & Comfort Guide. It describes proper computer setup, posture, and health and work habits for computer users. It also provides important electrical and mechanical safety information.
14 Chapter 3 Setting up your computer |
ENWW |
Locate the HP TouchSmart PC in the room to minimize glare from the screen. You can also reduce glare by tilting the screen.
The HP TouchSmart screen can be used as an input device; therefore, the computer should be placed so that your shoulders and neck are comfortable.
The computer might need to be moved close to your body to keep your shoulders relaxed while you are touching the screen. Keep your shoulders low and your upper arm close to your body when you touch the screen. The more the screen is used for input, the more important this is.
You can position the computer in a variety of ways to provide a balance between relaxing your shoulders and keeping your head balanced comfortably over your neck. If you feel discomfort in your shoulders, try moving the computer closer to your body or lowering the height of the screen by lowering the work surface. If you feel discomfort in your upper back muscles and neck, try increasing the height of the screen by increasing the work surface height.
The graphic below shows correct body and computer positioning.

Keyboard and mouse (with cable) 19 |
Keyboard and mouse (wireless)
Symptom |
Possible solution |
Wireless keyboard or mouse does not work or is not detected.
●Ensure that you are using the wireless keyboard or wireless mouse within range of the receiver, approximately 10 meters (32 feet) for normal use, and within 30 cm (12 inches) during initial setup or for re-synchronization.
●Ensure that the mouse is not in Suspend mode, which occurs after 20 minutes of inactivity. Tap the left mouse button to reactivate it.
●Replace the batteries in the keyboard and mouse.
●Re-synchronize the keyboard and mouse to the receiver using the following steps.
The receiver, wireless keyboard, and wireless mouse shown in the following illustrations are examples; your models might vary.
IMPORTANT: During these steps, place the wireless keyboard and wireless mouse on the same level as the receiver, within 30 cm (12 inches) of the receiver, and away from interference from other devices.
1.Unplug the receiver from the USB connector on the computer, and then reconnect it. Your computer model might have a connector dedicated to the receiver.
2.Check that the mouse is on (1), and then push and hold the Connect button (2) on the underside of the mouse for 5 to 10 seconds until the LED on the receiver lights or stops flashing. The receiver connection session times out after 60 seconds. To ensure that the connection was established, and that the receiver did not time out instead, and then move the mouse and check for a response on the screen.
3.After the mouse connection is established, continue by using the following steps to repeat the procedure for the keyboard.
4.Push and hold the Connect button (1) on the underside of the keyboard for 5 to 10 seconds until the LED on the receiver lights or stops flashing.
