2-30 Removal and Replacement HP Omnibook XT6050, XT/VT6200
Using a Crisis Recovery Floppy Disk
If you do not have a BIOS Crisis Recovery floppy, download the package from the Partnership web site
(see page vi) under Product Support Information in the Service and Support Library. Follow the
instructions for creating the floppy.
Caution
Make sure to use the correct BIOS Crisis Recovery floppy for the Omnibook model you are
repairing. The program does not verify the Omnibook model, so you could accidentally install the
wrong BIOS.
1.
Insert the BIOS Crisis Recovery disk in the floppy disk drive.
2.
Turn on the computer and allow it to boot from the floppy disk.
If the notebook does not turn on at all, do the following to boot from the floppy disk:
a.
Unplug the AC adapter.
b.
Press and hold Fn+B.
c.
Plug in the AC adapter.
d.
Release Fn+B.
Note:
If the notebook will not boot from the floppy, try plugging the boot-block jumper into the
notebook’s parallel port. See the wiring diagram below.

If necessary, download the latest BIOS version and reprogram the BIOS IC.
