26 Startup Guide
To change the boot device
The notebook normally boots from its internal hard disk. You can also boot the notebook
from a floppy disk drive, the CD/DVD drive, or a local area network (LAN).
1. Restart the notebook: click Start, Turn Off Computer, Restart.
2. When the HP logo appears, press Esc to display the Boot menu.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the boot device, and press Enter.
If you want to boot from a specific device whenever it is present, change the boot order
using the BIOS configuration utility—see “To run the BIOS configuration utility” on
page 47.
To use the touch pad
Your notebook includes a built-in touch pad, scroll toggle switch, and click buttons.
1. Left click button—works like the left button on a standard mouse.
2. Scroll up/down toggle—scrolls the contents of a window.
3. Right click button—works like the right button on a standard mouse.
4. Touch pad—pressure-sensitive pointing and clicking device.
