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 ROMPAQ can be found at
http://www.hp.com under the support
and drivers for the HP Business Desktop dx5150. Download the ROMPAQ 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 you want to back up is turned on. Connect the removable storage to
the computer.
2. In Windows, click Start > Run, type CMD, and click OK to open a DOS
command
window.
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.
