This chapter provides information on how to reinstall the software on the hard disk in
case of disk failure.
Installing the Windows 98 Operating System
You will be using the Windows 98 CD disk that came with your system to install the
operating system. For detailed information on how to install the operating system, refer to
chapter 2 of the Windows 98 Getting Started manual, which is bundled with the
Windows 98 CD.
Note: Before you start installing the Windows operating system to your Book PC's
hard disk drive, make sure that you have access to the CD-ROM/DVD drive. If
necessary, install the proper CD-ROM/DVD driver first. You can find the necessary
files on the support CD.
Installing the Bundled Software
The support CD shipped with your system contains an original copy of all the software
that was preinstalled on the hard disk drive, including all the drivers and the application
software. You can use it to restore the Book PC's hard disk to its original form.
Before you proceed to install any of the bundled software, make sure to have installed the
Windows 98 operating system first.
Installing the Drivers under Windows 98
During the Windows 98 installation the setup program will already try to identify and
match the proper drivers for the hardware connected to your system. Even so, Windows
might not automatically detect all your new hardware. This means you might have to
install some driver software in order for all your hardware to be recognized and work
properly together.
