To Recover The Windows 95 Factory Installation - HP OmniBook 2100 Reference Manual

Using the Recovery CD

To recover the Windows 95 factory installation

The following procedure describes how to recover the original Windows 95
operating system that came with your OmniBook.
Requirements
OmniBook 2100/3100.
OmniBook 2100/3100 Recovery CD.
This procedure will format the hard disk drive. If possible, back up any files you
would like to save before installing Windows 95.
1. Shut down the OmniBook and insert the CD-ROM drive in the module bay.
2. Connect the ac adapter and turn on the OmniBook.
3. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
4. Open the Boot menu and select CD-ROM as the first boot device. (You may want
to change the boot order back to Diskette Drive after completing this procedure.)
5. Insert the Recovery CD into the CD-ROM drive.
6. Press F10, then press Yes to save and exit the BIOS Setup utility.
7. When the menu appears, choose "Recover Windows 95."
8. When prompted, select Y to erase the hard disk and continue.
9. When prompted, select a file system (FAT16 or FAT32).
FAT 32 is the factory default. After the hard drive is erased and partitioned, the
OmniBook reboots and begins copying files from the Recovery CD.
The recovery process can take up to an hour. Do not interrupt the recovery
process or unplug the ac adapter until recovery is completed.
10. When the Recovery process is complete, reset the OmniBook. See page 2-4.
