Maintaining Your Software
and Personal Data
Compaq recommends that you install all software updates as they become available. However, if your system is connected to a network, you may need to confer with your Information Services department before updating system ROM.
Installing a Retail Version of an
Operating System
The Windows operating system included in the QuickRestore System Recovery CD is enhanced by Compaq. The enhancements provide added functionality for power management, security, and the use of drives and PC Cards.
ÄCAUTION: Replacing a Compaq enhanced operating system with a retail version will result in the loss of enhancements added by Compaq. In some cases, it may result in system lockups and loss of unsaved information. In other cases, complete USB support will become unavailable.

Maintaining Your Software and Personal Data
Virus Protection
If you use the notebook for e-mail or to access the World Wide Web, you risk infecting the system with a computer virus. You can protect the notebook from infection by installing antivirus software.
Several products available on the market will detect the virus, destroy it, and repair any damage it causes.
Backup Utilities
To protect the information on your notebook and retrieve lost or damaged files, you should back up your files regularly to diskettes or other backup media.
To do a partial backup of selected files or folders, use backup devices such as diskettes. To do a complete hard drive backup, use tape drives or other high-capacity backup devices.
