Other applications you've installed and other files you've created remain on
the disk. Many individual system files are also accessible on the Recovery
CD ROM.
The equipment you need are the OmniBook, its ac adapter, a floppy drive,
and a CD-ROM drive (preferably SCSI-type). You also need the Recovery
CD ROM and the Support Utility floppy disk. If you have a docking system,
you can leave the OmniBook docked during most of this procedure.
These steps will delete any software or files you may have installed or
created on your hard disk.
1. Plug in the ac adapter to the OmniBook.
2. Install DOS 6.22 (from back-up installation disks or from purchased
software) onto drive C as follows:
3. Insert MS-DOS disk #1 into the floppy drive. Switch to drive A, then
format drive C by typing FORMAT C: /U. If you cannot format the drive,
type FDISK C: and choose option 1 to prepare the drive for formatting.
Reboot the computer and follow the instructions in the display. (Note: To
restart from the floppy drive, the System Configuration Utility must have
System, Boot Devices set to FDD First.) Install the fourth disk
separately: at the A: prompt, type SETUP C:\DOS. When prompted for
installation choices, choose All Components, and choose the VGA
display driver. Reboot when done.
4. Install Windows for Workgroups (from back-up installation disks or from
purchased software) onto drive C as follows:
Insert disk #1 and type A:SETUP.
Choose the Express Setup.
Select all defaults for this installation. Do not install any printers or
networks. Install them after the rest of this installation is complete.
The installation does not use all of the Windows disks.
5. Turn off the OmniBook. Set up and connect a SCSI-type CD-ROM drive
(HP part number F1196A) to the docking/SCSI port of the OmniBook or
to the SCSI port of the docking system. A direct SCSI connection to the
OmniBook requires an OmniBook-to-SCSI adapter cable, HP part
number F1182A. (Note that you can also use a CD-ROM drive with the
parallel or PC-card ports, if you follow the additional instructions given
in the README file in the root directory on the CD ROM.)
6. Turn on the CD-ROM drive and insert the Recovery CD-ROM —make
sure you use the correct CD-ROM.
7. Connect the floppy drive to the OmniBook. Insert the Support Utility
floppy disk into the floppy drive.
8. Turn on the OmniBook. Exit Windows, if possible, and restart the
computer from the floppy drive: Press CTRL+ALT+DEL or press the
reset button. (Note: To restart from the floppy drive, the System
Configuration Utility must have System, Boot Devices set to FDD First.)
9. Select the option Install Windows for Workgroups Drivers and HP
Applications Software, which loads the special drivers you need with the
OmniBook. It also loads OmniBook-specific software: the online User's
