Reinstalling Windows For Workgroups; To Reinstall Windows For Workgroups And Original Hp Software - HP OmniBook 800 Installation And Setup Manual

Reinstalling Windows for Workgroups

Follow these instructions to install or re-install a Windows 3.x operating system. If
you made back-up disks when setting up the pre-installed Windows for Workgroups,
you can use those disks to re-install the operating system that came with your
OmniBook. Otherwise, you can install Windows 3.x from your own purchased
copies of these disks.
These steps will delete any software or files you may have installed or created on your
hard disk since the original setup. Back up what you would like to save.
You will need 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.
