To restore an alternate operating system

The following procedure describes how to restore an alternate operating system
and your original OmniBook software. These steps will delete any software or files
you may have installed or created on your hard disk since the original set-up. Back up
what you would like to save.
You provide the software to install the alternate operating system. You will need the
OmniBook-specific drivers provided on the Recovery CD-ROM, under
OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WINNT or OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\OS2. Different versions of
an operating system require different drivers, so make sure to select the appropriate
driver.
You can also find the drivers on the OmniBook's hard drive under
C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS.
Before you start installing a new operating system, make sure the drivers you
need will be accessible after the installation
If you do not have a CD-ROM drive, then copy the drivers you need from the
OmniBook directory of the hard disk to a floppy disk. Alternatively, check our
World Wide Web site ( http://www.hp.com/ go/omnibook) for the drivers.
