Hi Adrian,
In cases where HP do NOT supply a CD, they usually have a system set
up to enable you to create your own media from a special (often
hidden) Recovery Partition, and generally nag you to do this.
Unfortunately many people often don't take heed of this warning and
check a box which says, "Don't show me this message again".
George.

Hi George
In that case why don't hp supply you with a cd, if you buy a laptop
with windows, and what if the drive goes, I suppose if the warranty
runs out, hp want us to send it to them and pay their costs.

Hi Andy,
The suggestion to wipe the drive and start fresh is sensible, but -
and it's a big BUT.
Every HP I've dealt with to date, and there have been quite a few,
does not like having a genuine copy of Windows installed on it for one
major reason. The lack of HP's network drivers. That said, provided
you download these first to a memory stick or such like, and remember
to install them after you have installed Windows, it will then allow
you access to the Internet.

Hi Andy.
Could you provide full specifications of your laptop? that
might go some way to providing an explanation.
all the best,
Mo.

Subject: [access-uk] the time it takes From turning on to desk
top
Hi all -
I did a time check this morning for the time it takes from
actually turning on the laptop, to accessing the desk top with JAWS13.
Here's what I found:
Time taken from turning on to hearing start up music for
Vista, 70 seconds, approx.
Time taken from hearing Vista start up music to JFW speaking
the log-on screen, 2 minutes, approx.
Time taken from entering log-on password, to desk top where
JAWS announces "JAWS is ready...", 80 seconds, approx.
So, a total time of about 4.5 minutes. Do others find this
consistent with their booting/logging on experience? It feels rather
long to me, I am only allowing a handful of apps to load at start up,
but it might be that Avast is doing a boottime scan ahead of my log
on, so, it would be interesting to hear how long it takes other
peoples machines to reach the desk top, both those with Avast
installed, and those without it -
Andy
