LifeBook B Series – Section Three
BOOTING THE SYSTEM WITH WINDOWS 98 SECOND EDITIONWe strongly recommend that you not attach any external
devices and do not put a CD or floppy disk in
any drive until you have gone through the initial power
on sequence.
When you turn on your LifeBook 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
configuration information on the screen, and then the
Windows 98 Second Edition Welcome will begin.
Designed to accommodate the needs of many 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 will be
prepared to dial out.
■Registration: Easy online registr ation for Windows
98 with Microsoft, and for your LifeBook 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 gen erated.
Getting Started
Read the instructions on the screens carefully and fill
in the information as directed. You will be asked to enter
several pieces of identification information and how you
access the Internet. For the modem settings, enter your
current location information where you will be using
your LifeBook. 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 setup your LifeBook to dial out,
Windows 98 Second Edition will make a free
telephone call which will test these settings. If the call is
unsuccessful, 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 Contact Information” on
page3. 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.
Registration
If your connection is successful, you will go to the
Registration Confirmation page. On this page simply
enter the requested information, and then check the
box at the bottom to register your copy of Windows 98
Second Edition with Microsoft. Once you have finished,

You will then go through the Fujitsu registration process.

the necessary information. Be as specific as possible so
