HP Recommended

Just bought an HP laptop.

I turn it on and it goes to a screen which says "Boot Menu" and has 2 options: 1) FreeDOS and 2) HP Documents.

I wait for 10 seconds and then it goes to another screen that has 2 other options: 1) Load FreeDOS including HITEM XMS-memory drivers and 2) Load FreeDOS without drivers.

I wait 5 seconds and it goes to a command prompt screen and I dont know what to do from there because the insturction manual doesnt say anything about it.

If I press FreeDOS in the Boot Menu it does the same thing as if I waited 10 seconds. If I press HP documents it goes to a screen with multiple languages where I cant interract with anything.

Pressing either option in the 2nd menu leads to a command prompt screen.
