CAUTION: Make sure you back up your personal files on the hard
drive to an external storage device, such as a CD, before removing
the hard drive. Failure to do so will result in data loss. After
replacing the hard drive, you will need to run the System Recovery
CDs to load the Compaq factory installed files. See “System
Recovery” on page 4–6 for details.
