Why start with a system erase?
Starting with a system erase ensures you begin the installation process from a known non-
configured state.
How do I perform a system erase?
Boot from the SmartStart CD-ROM and choose System Erase from the Main Menu.
How do I get to the main menu of SmartStart if all that shows is a boot: instead of the
graphical menu when booting to the SmartStart CD?
One method is to build and use the System Erase Diskette. Create this diskette from the Compaq
Disk Builder by inserting the SmartStart CD-ROM into a system running Microsoft Windows;
the Autorun feature automatically starts the Disk Builder Program.
