BOOTING THE SYSTEM WITH
WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITION
We strongly recommend that you do not attach any external devices and do not put a DVD/CD or floppy disk in any drive until you have gone through the initial power on sequence.
When you turn on your LifeBook notebook for the first time, it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen. If you do nothing the system will read the hard drive for the operating system software, flash the LifeBook notebook configuration information on the screen, and then the Windows 98 Second Edition Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of users in many different countries, Windows 98 Second Edition needs to be configured the first time you use it. Windows 98 Second Edition has three parts:
■Getting Started: You have the opportunity to enter custom information for your configuration file and setup your modem so that your LifeBook notebook will be prepared to dial out.
■Registration: Easy online registration for Windows 98 Second Edition with Microsoft, and for your Life- Book notebook with Fujitsu PC Corporation.
■Windows License Agreement and Final Settings: You have the opportunity to review the Windows 98 Second Edition License Agreement and then your configuration file will be generated.

Getting Started

location information where you will be using your LifeBook notebook. If you are not connected to a phone line and plan to register at a later time, you may click the Skip button, and you will go directly to the condition of use page.
Once you have set up your notebook to dial out, Windows 98 Second Edition will make a free telephone call which will test these settings. If the call is unsuc- cessful, you will be returned to the phone settings page where you may try to fix them. If you are unable to fix the settings please contact Fujitsu PC Service and Support. (See Fujitsu PC Corporation Contact Informa- tion on page 1 for more information) If you would simply like to move on, and register at a later time, you may click the Skip button, and you will go directly to the Condition of Use page.
