NOTE: To avoid viruses brought in by diskettes, boot the system from the
hard disk instead of a diskette. If you must boot up from drive A, make
sure the booting diskette is clean.
Booting with Windows 98
The notebook comes to you with the operating system preinstalled. During the
software installation process, you will be prompted to provide additional
information. To complete the installation process when booting up with
Windows 98 for the first time, follow these steps:
1. When prompted, enter your region, keyboard preference, name, and modem
country/dialing information.
2. If you want to register your copy of the operating system now, connect the
modem cable (included with integrated modem models) to the RJ11 jack on
the notebook and plug the other end of the cable into a standard telephone
wall jack. Then, click Next. If you do not want to register the operating system
at this time click Skip.
3. Review and accept the Microsoft License Agreement, then enter the Product
Key from the Certificate of Authenticity label. The label is located on the
operating system manual or on the bottom side of the notebook. You will not
be able to use the Windows software without entering the Product Key.
4. When prompted, choose the appropriate time zone and set the time and date.
Click Apply, then OK.
5. The system will adjust the final configuration. Click Cancel in response to
device installation dialogs, then allow the system to reboot, if prompted. The
computer is now ready to use.
Your notebook comes with a CD-ROM that contains software drivers you need to
install, thus enabling the special features of your notebook. (See Chapter 6 for
information on the drivers.)
