System Restoration
2. Choose Option 7 from the bootable floppy Main Menu.
This will initialize the hard disk using FDISK. Running
FDISK will erase all data from the hard drive. During
FDISK, you will be prompted for much information.
When running FDISK, we strongly recommend that you
do not enable large disk support,(choose NO, when
asked). If you choose [YES] you will not be able to
install WinNT or a WIN95 non-SR2 operating system at
a later time. Also make sure you set the Active Partition
flag to make it bootable.
NOTE: Although OEMSETUP does FDISK the hard
drive, the utility is NOT designed to run with hard
drives 2.1 GB or larger. It will cause unexpected
results. Use the FDISK Option provided on the boot
media.
3. Choose Option 4. This Option will Format the disk and
then create a 86016 KB Save-to-file.bin This file was
created by the PHDISKF Utility and enables you to use
the notebook's Save to Disk feature.
4. Insert the Microsoft Operating System CD into the CD-
ROM drive.
5. Choose Option 5 (Install OS) from the bootable floppy
Main Menu. This will run Microsoft's OEMSETUP
program from the Microsoft Operating System CD.
OEMSETUP runs SCANDISK and then installs the OS.
6. Remove the Microsoft Operating System CD and insert
the DIGITAL HiNote System CD. Run CDInstall. Click
on the Next buttons until the Main Install screen
appears.
