First of all, this HP notebook is design best for Windows98 and Windows2000, so u must make sure which OS that u need to install into your system, u may also try WindowsXP if your system fulfill the requirement to support XP (refer to the XP requirement here). Cause now i don think u can get the Windows98 or Windows2000 genuine installer at any shop nowadays.
After u decide which OS u want then just put in the CD in your CD-ROM and follow the instruction on screen. Please backup all the data u need to a safe place before do this. Of course u also need to set your BIOS to boot CD 1st at computer start.
In almost all instances a new operating system will be installed from a CD or DVD.
1. Start your computer and enter BIOS to make sure CD/DVD is your first bootable device.
2. Have your CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive and boot the computer
3. Boot the computer and generally you will be prompted to hit any key to boot from CD
4. A guided setup process will walk you through the installation of your given operating system

I have an Acer Aspire 5050. The charger/adapter plug at the laptop gets really hot and eventually the laptop shuts off. The power reads '0' percent and it acts as though the battery is not charging. I used two different adapters and the computer responded the same. Any ideas?

I have ugly red where black used to be, and also pinkish 1/4 inch lines every 2 or 3 inches running vertical on a blue screen background. Text is black with red tinge to it. It is ok for reading, but makes pictures and video look like a bad cartoon. Also if I torque the screen a bit, it will go a ugly yellow and pink, but back when I let go. Missing 7 keys and the nylon keepers have been riped off- need a new or used keyboard too. It went in for warranty work just after parchase for same...presario e4000
