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.

Place the computer so that all ventilation openings are unobstructed and cabling is not in a walkway or where
it can be stepped on or damaged by placing furniture on it.
Connect all power cords from the monitor, computer, and accessories to a power surge protection device that
is specifically labeled as having surge protection, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or a similar device. If the computer has a television tuner, or a modem or telephone connection, protect the computer by using surge protection with these signal inputs as well.

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 a USB connector on the computer, and then reconnect it. Your
computer model might have a connector dedicated to the receiver. If you have a choice, use a USB connector on the front of the computer.
2. Check that the mouse is on (A), and push and hold the Connect button (B) 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, move the mouse and check for response on the screen.
