To Reset The Omnibook; Using Storage Devices - HP OmniBook 5500 User Manual

To reset the OmniBook

If the OmniBook unexpectedly hangs up in a state where nothing seems to work, you
may need to reset it. When you reset the system, the OmniBook
•
Discards your current work session.
•
Resets and checks the hardware.
•
Rereads the system files.
1. If the floppy drive is installed, make sure there's no disk in the drive.
2. Insert a ball-point pen tip or other slender object into the small opening on the
left side of the computer below the ac adapter socket. Push in momentarily—the
system resets and reboots.
If the reset button has no effect, remove the battery and ac adapter and press
the reset button—then install the battery or plug in the ac adapter and try
pressing the reset button again.

Using Storage Devices

Your OmniBook can access information in the following four places:
•
The floppy disk drive—drive A (if present).
•
The internal hard disk drive—drive C.
•
The CD-ROM drive—drive D (if present).
•
Two PC card slots—drives D and E
(or drives E and F if a CD-ROM drive is present).
The PC card slots and the CD-ROM drive have higher drive letters when a SCSI
hard drive is present—as with a docking system.
