Starting OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics
Once you have created the diskette, you can start the Hardware Diagnostics. To do
this:
1. Insert the diskette into the flexible disk drive.
2. Quit all applications, shut down the operating system, and restart your PC. To do
this in Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0, click the Start button then select Shut
Down – Restart PC.
3. The PC will then start from the diskette. After loading the system files, it will
decompress the necessary files. Then OmniBook Hardware Diagnostics will start
automatically, displaying the Welcome screen (refer to page 1-7).

device. (Refer to "More Information About the PC's Setup Program" on page
1-5.)
There may be problem with the flexible disk drive or the internal cable
connections. Contact your local or HP-dedicated support agent.
