I will not cover the other software under XP (you can find some HP software covered in Vista. I recommend reading the quick guides because it will help you to see all of the important info on installation and post installation procedures.

If you want Norton вЂ“ install it, but think twice beforehand.

Of course I gave him directions how to do it, but there was still this bitter feeling of the cheap advertising in the worst form. He called me a few days ago and asked me if he could remove вЂњthat friggin NortonвЂќ and replace it with something else because he couldnвЂ™t take anymore of the nag dialog boxes, alerts, slowdowns (both boot and in work), resource depletion and stuff. Incidentally my father has got the same model two months ago and installed everything. Actually although I immediately stopped the install program and skipped the installation, an ordinary user would most certainly install everything. When it finishes you can notice that actually all is already preinstalled and when you log in for the first time it will start installation of the (wellвЂ¦) Norton software (Internet security) which will вЂњprotectвЂќ you for 60 days and then make you so irritated that you would wish to forget the whole thing.

I apologize but I needed to finish some work and didnвЂ™t pay enough attention to the initial Windows XP Home installation (I have done it at least 60 times in my life). I must have missed it (hardly) or there is actually no setting option when you install software for the first time. Why? Because of the other software that comes with it.

When you turn on the comp for the first time it will immediately install Windows with all drivers and settings вЂ“ вЂњniceвЂќ, but I would add a word вЂњtryвЂќ to complete the sentence so it ends with вЂњnice tryвЂќ. It has a visible 8GB partition on disk that holds the Windows installation, drivers and additional software. I bought the notebook that comes with 32bit Windows XP Home edition (noВ FreeDOS version available at the time) and aВ bunch of software. Otherwise this notebook fully supports Vista and I have tested it to the limits with the Vista Ultimate edition. So if this is your first purchase, and you donвЂ™t have any access to Vista or you find it too expensive and troublesome, you would probably use the Windows XP on this notebook (except if you took the FreeDOS version and are installing Ubuntu or something). MyВ guess is Vista is available installedВ too. There are different models of this notebook comingВ that come withВ Windows XP Home, ProfessionalВ or FreeDOS. F10 works only if you are very fast since the enter BIOS option is by default set to 0s. And of course you can see the system info. There is also a boot option menu and you can choose what devices can be used for the booting process and in what order. You can use the disk check and memory check + disk sanitizer too. Then things like Fan on AC, dual core support, native SATA, virtualization technology etc. There are also settings for devices like enabled wireless, Bluetooth, serial, parallel, usb, firewire ports. There are standard passwords for system and setup, but also additional smartcard, TPM, disk passwords etc. Since this notebook has some extra security options, many can be set in BIOS. Or my automatic Ctrl+S pressing saved the day. I lost nothing! I guess Word 2007 took the liberty and autosaved just a moment before that power cut had happened. When the power came back вЂ“ Vista booted and I opened the document and everything was there. I was typing this text and the notebook turned off (as did all the other things in my houseВ too). And just a bit before that I had turned on the advanced HD caching that canВ prevent data loss on sudden power failures. I usually work without the battery and while I was typing this text there was a rare power cut in the neighbourhood. The computer works with or without battery and it can be detached while the computer is on (and connected on AC). In BIOS there is an option to enable this feature for the secondary battery. It charges quite fast perhaps due to the HP fast charge technology. There is also a hybrid sleep mode where all components turn off, and come on almost instantly вЂ“ very handy. The disk supports sleep modes, as well as Vista. In the best case with maximum power saving options (lowest brightness and powerplay + lowest multiplier CPU) it goes over 4 hours in normal Windows work.
