To create a Support Utility Disk

If you want to use the Recovery CD in a PC Card CD-ROM drive or parallel port CD- ROM drive, you’ll need a Support Utility disk for certain operations.

1.Insert a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive.

2.Run makesupp.bat from the \Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the OmniBook Recovery CD.

3.Copy the device drivers from the installation software provided with the CD-ROM drive to the Support Utility disk into the A:\Tools directory.

4.In the CONFIG.SYS file on the Support Utility disk, enable or disable the appropriate drivers for your CD-ROM drive:

For a PC card drive. REM the OmniBook driver (OAKCDROM) and insert the command to run the point enabler for the card.

For a parallel drive. REM the OmniBook driver (OAKCDROM).

5.Add the device=driver statements to the CONFIG.SYS file on the Support Utility disk. The device statements should immediately follow the [USERCD] label.
