Installing an Operating System
This chapter has instructions for installing or recovering an operating system. Your
OmniBook package includes a Recovery CD, the (FAT16) Support Utility floppy disk,
and the Microsoft Windows 95 Companion CD. With these tools , you can install or
recover
♦ Windows 95 operating system.
♦ Windows for Workgroups from your own disks.
♦ Other HP programs, online User’s Guide, and drivers from the Recovery CD
that came with your OmniBook.
♦ Windows NT and OS/2 Warp from your own disks, and using instructions and
drivers from the Corporate Evaluator’s Guide on our Website at
http://www.hp.com/go/omnibook. In addition, this site contains the latest
updates of software drivers, and information on configuring the OmniBook in
a corporate, networked environment.
You can also create a FAT32 (file allocation table, 32-bit) hard-disk configuration
using either the Recovery CD or a separate product, such as PartitionMagic by
PowerQuest. Using the Recovery CD to create a FAT32 hard-disk configuration
necessitates erasing the hard drive and making a floppy boot disk.
Note
As part of your initial setup of the computer, you have one opportunity to select
one of the factory-installed operating systems. See chapter 1.
