it down.

system—You can insert or remove any drive except a hard
drive while the computer is on, off, in Hibernation, or in
Suspend (Standby).
■
If the computer is running a retail version of Windows 95,
Windows 98, or Windows NT 4.0—You can obtain software
enhancements from Compaq that will enable you to insert or
remove any drive other than a hard drive without first shutting
down the computer. To obtain these enhancements, go to the
Compaq Internet site at http://www.compaq.com.
