Setup Utilities and Diagnostics Features

2.3 Recovering the Configuration Settings

Recovering the configuration settings established in the Computer Setup (F10) Utility requires

that you first back up the settings before a recovery is needed.

The CMOS Save/Load utility firmware can be found at

http://www.hp.com under the Software

& Driver Downloads for your specific model. Download the firmware files into a folder on a

removable storage device. It is recommended that you save any modified computer configuration

settings to a diskette, a USB flash media device, or a diskette-like device (a storage device set to

emulate a diskette drive) and save the diskette or device for possible future use.

2.3.1 Backing up the CMOS

1. Make sure the computer to be backed up is turned on. Connect the removable storage to the

computer.

2. Boot to DOS.

3. Type N:\folder\BIOS.exe SAVE:ABC001.DAT (where N is the drive letter of the removable

storage) to save the CMOS setting to the removable storage device.

2.3.2 Restoring the CMOS

1. Make sure the target computer is turned on. Connect the removable storage to the target

computer.

2. Boot to DOS.

3. Type N:\folder\BIOS.exe LOAD:ABC001.DAT (where N is the drive letter of the

removable storage) to load the custom CMOS setting onto the target system.
