Do not turn off the computer during the initial
setup process. Allow the process to complete to ensure that
everything necessary to operate the computer is installed

reboots, and the Windows setup screen is displayed.
After the setup has been completed, you must reinstall any
applications that were on the old hard drive and restore any data
that you backed up. If you need further assistance, please call
