Note

Installing an Operating System

This chapter has instructions for installing or recovering an operating system. Your
OmniBook package includes a Recovery CD, the (FAT16) Support Utility floppy disk,
and the Microsoft Windows 95 Companion CD. With these tools , you can install or
recover
Windows 95 operating system.
Windows for Workgroups from your own disks.
Other HP programs, online User's Guide, and drivers from the Recovery CD
that came with your OmniBook.
Windows NT and OS/2 Warp from your own disks, and using instructions and
drivers from the Corporate Evaluator's Guide on our Website at
http://www.hp.com/go/omnibook. In addition, this site contains the latest
updates of software drivers, and information on configuring the OmniBook in
a corporate, networked environment.
You can also create a FAT32 (file allocation table, 32-bit) hard-disk configuration
using either the Recovery CD or a separate product, such as PartitionMagic by
PowerQuest. Using the Recovery CD to create a FAT32 hard-disk configuration
necessitates erasing the hard drive and making a floppy boot disk.
As part of your initial setup of the computer, you have one opportunity to select
one of the factory-installed operating systems. See chapter 1.
