oh, be sure to make your recovery disks/cds now while it is new.

Oh My God, I don't even want to go near the thing.

LOL

I do have many cd-rw (they are over 8 years old). they are blank cd things that you burn stuff to.

I wonder if I can still use these.

Do you have to use a particular cd thingee to make recovery discs.

OH MY GOD, it was bad enough trying to copy Mozilla bookmarks on this contraption, now Melody is making Recovery discs.

ROFL.

P.S. Do you know how peaceful it is to walk into my kitchen, make some chicken and a potfull of greens and some fresh carrots and then use my Vitamix to make sorbet?

You have no idea!!

lol

well you can always try them to see if it works or not - it should tell you if they won't work.
It may pop up a screen saying wrong format or not DVD r/w etc.

Hi Jo:

When I feel like experimenting again, I'll go over to the drawer, take some out, write down exactly what they are, and post here. Then you can say "yay, they are the right ones", or NAY, go out and buy this kind, etc."

I learn from you a great deal my dear.

lol

It really depends on what your cd/dvd drive needs - or maybe the newer ones can use the + or - dvds.

just pop one in and try to burn your restore disks - it will tell you if it isn't the right type. It will probably tell you what type it needs..

It might be in your manual or the specs section of your new computer info.
Or even on the HP website under the product/serial/model #.


You should register it on the HP site too and bookmark that page of later, it just handy to have it.

I think I registered this computer when I first turned it on. I had to fill out forms, my name, my email, etc. and click send. I had to go to the computer guy the second day I had this thing. I'm learning all new stuff about this computer.

I just learned I have BLIO and it's an e-reader. Just downloaded my first book (free).

Vegetarian cookbook.

you gotta love this!!
