Installing Windows NT or OS/2 Warp

Installing Windows NT or OS/2 Warp

You provide the software to install these alternate operating systems. See the Corporate Evaluator’s Guide at our Website for complete information on installing these operating systems, as well as how to configure the OmniBook in a corporate, networked environment.

To install Windows NT or OS/2 Warp

You will need OmniBook-specific drivers. The drivers for alternate operating systems are located

∙On the Recovery CD ROM, under OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS.

∙On the OmniBook's hard drive under C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS.

∙ On our Website at http://www.hp.com/go/omnibook . This site contains the latest updates of software drivers.

Different versions of an operating system require different drivers, so make sure to select the appropriate driver

The equipment you need are the OmniBook, its ac adapter, a floppy disk drive, and a CD-ROM drive (preferably SCSI-type). You also need the Support Utility floppy disk. If you have a docking system, you can leave the OmniBook docked during most of this procedure.

Before you start installing a new operating system, make sure the drivers you

need will be accessible after the installation	. Copy them from the web site or
the hard drive to a floppy disk, or use the	Recovery CD with a CD -ROM drive.
