System Management chapter of the Maintenance and Service Guide. HP Cool Tools An HP Workstation with Windows XP Professional includes additional software that is not installed when you first start the workstation. Additionally, a number of preinstalled tools on the workstation can enhance the workstation experience.
Page 31: Setting Up The Operating System
This chapter also includes information on how to determine that you have the latest BIOS, drivers, and software updates installed on the workstation. CAUTION: Do not add optional hardware or third-party devices to the HP workstation until the operating system is successfully installed. Adding hardware might cause errors and prevent the operating system from installing correctly.
Page 32: Setting Up The Microsoft Operating System
Setting up the Microsoft operating system NOTE: If you ordered a downgrade from Windows Vista to Windows XP Professional operating system, your system will be preinstalled with Windows XP Professional operating system. With this configuration, you will receive recovery media for Windows Vista operating system only. In case you need to restore or recover the Windows XP Professional operating system in the future, it is important that you create recovery media disks for Windows XP Professional operating system after first boot.

To obtain the support center telephone number for your region seehttp://www.hp.com/ support/contactHP. Restoring Windows Vista This section describes how to restore Windows Vista.
Page 39: Restoring Windows Xp Professional
Depending on the options, there might be additional DVDs you can create. Follow the prompts to create RestorePlus!, operating system, and HPBR media. If you are unable to create CD/DVDs on your workstation, call HP Support and request a RestorePlus! media kit. For worldwide technical support phone numbers, see http://www.hp.com/support.
Page 40: Creating Hp Backup And Recovery (Hpbr) Media
The Initial Recovery Point was captured when the RestorePlus! media set was created previously. If the IRP was not created, start the HP Backup and Recovery Manager and create recovery points using the Expert mode. Follow the HPBR online documentation for instructions.
Page 41: Restoring The Operating System
Restoring the operating system CAUTION: Before you restore the operating system, back up your data. When you run RestorePlus! from media, the process deletes all information on the primary hard drive, including all partitions. If you run RestorePlus! from the recovery partition, only the root (C:) partition is affected.
