CAUTION: To prevent damage to the Personal Computer, the drive, and any data stored on the
drive:
■ If you are inserting or removing a hard drive, shut down the Personal Computer. Never remove a
hard drive while the Personal Computer is on or in Standby. To ensure that the Personal
Computer is not in Standby, turn the Personal Computer on, then shut it down.
■ If the Personal Computer is running a retail version of Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 without
software enhancements from Compaq, shut down the Internet Device before inserting or
removing any drive.
If the Personal Computer is running a preinstalled operating system supplied
by Compaq, you can insert or remove any drive except a hard drive while the
Personal Computer is on, off, or in Standby.
If the Personal Computer is running a retail version of Windows 98 or
Windows NT 4.0, you can obtain software enhancements from Compaq that
will enable you to insert or remove any drive except a hard drive without first
shutting down the Personal Computer.
✎
The retail version of Windows 2000 supports this feature without additional software
enhancements.
To obtain these enhancements, go to the Compaq Internet site at
