Understanding hard disk drive space

The hard disk drive on the Hewlett-Packard and

Compaq computers with the Microsoft®

Windows® operating system preinstalled may

appear to be smaller than the size stated in the

product specifications, in the documentation, or

on the box. Hard disk drives are described and

advertised by manufacturers in terms of decimal

(base 10) capacity. Microsoft Windows and

other programs, such as FDISK, use the binary

(base 2) numbering system.

In decimal notation, one megabyte (MB) is

equal to 1,000,000 bytes, and one gigabyte

(GB) is equal to 1,000,000,000 bytes. In the

binary numbering system, one megabyte is

equal to 1,048,576 bytes, and one gigabyte is

equal to 1,073,741,824 bytes. Because of the

different measuring systems, you may see a

difference between the size reported by

Microsoft Windows and the size advertised. The

storage capacity of the hard disk drive is as

advertised.

Microsoft Windows reports smaller capacity in

the Windows Explorer tool and in the computer

window because it shows information about one

partition on the hard disk drive at a time. One of

the partitions contains the System Recovery

information.

Note about systems configured with 4 GB of

memory

For computers with a 32 bit operating system,

all memory above 3 GB may not be available

because of system resource requirements.

This limitation is not limited to HP and Compaq

systems. The memory above 3 GB is used for

system resources.

Confirming total memory

The system BIOS displays the full 4 GB of

installed memory.

1. Turn on the PC.

2. Press F10. The BIOS menu is displayed.

Confirm the Total Installed Memory.

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your

equipment:

• Place the computer in a location away from water, dust, moisture, and soot.

These can increase the inside temperature, or can cause fire or electrocution.

• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an

important safety feature.

• Plug the power cord in a grounded (earthed) outlet that is easily accessible at

all times.

• Disconnect power from the equipment by unplugging the power cord from the

electrical outlet. To prevent direct exposure to laser beam, do not try to open the

enclosure of the CD or DVD drives.

• The power supply is preset for the country/region in which you purchased your

computer. If you move, check the voltage requirements for your new location

before plugging the computer into an AC power outlet.

WARNING! The computer may be heavy; be sure to use ergonomically correct

lifting procedures when moving the computer.

To reduce the risk of serious injury read the Safety & Comfort Guide. The guide

is located on the web at http://www.hp.com/ergo.

2 Setting up your computer

NOTE: Some features might not be available on systems that are shipped

without a version of Microsoft Windows.

cabling is not in a walkway or where it can be stepped on or damaged by

placing furniture on it.

2. Connect all power cords from the monitor, computer, and accessories to a

power surge protection device that is specifically labeled as having surge

protection, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or a similar device. If the

computer has a television tuner, or a modem or telephone connection,

protect the computer by using surge protection with these signal inputs as

well. Connect the television cable or the telephone line cord to the surge

protection device, and then connect the device to the computer.

3. Download and install operating system updates.
