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.
