∙If you are installing a new hard drive, create a Hibernate partition on the drive before loading any software—see the steps below.

Creating a Hibernate Partition – OmniBook 4100

1.If you do not have an OmniBook Recovery CD and internal CD-ROM (or DVD) module for the computer you are repairing, create a Support Utility floppy disk now.

After inserting a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive, do one of the following:

•On an OmniBook 4100 with a Spring-98 factory software installation, click Start, Programs, OmniBook, Create Support Utility Disk.

•On any computer that has a CD-ROM drive, run makesupp from the \Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the OmniBook 4100 Recovery CD.

2.Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive—or insert the Support Utility disk in the floppy drive.

3.Reboot the computer. If you are using the Recovery CD, press ESC during reboot to cancel the OmniBook screen, ESC to display the boot-device menu, then select the CD-ROM drive as the boot device.

4.When prompted, select “Create Hibernate Partition.”

We recommend that you create a partition the same as the default option.

Creating a Hibernate Partition—OmniBook 4150 Series

1.Plug in the ac adapter.

2.Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.

3.Shut down and restart the computer—when you see the HP logo, press ESC two times.

4.Select the CD-ROM drive as the boot device.

5.When the Recovery CD dialog box appears, follow the displayed instructions. Accept the recommended partition size. If you install the factory software, the recovery process can take up to 10 minutes.

If you want to create the Hibernate partition without installing the factory software, click Advanced and select the option to not install the operating system. If you intend to install Windows NT, you should choose the FAT16 option or the Hibernate-only option.

Note: If, instead, you see an MS-DOS menu of options, select “Recover...” to create the Hibernate partition and install the factory software, which can take up to 60 minutes. Or select “Create Hibernate Partition” to not install the software. Accept the recommended partition size.

6.When prompted to reboot the computer, press CTRL+ALT+DEL and follow any displayed instructions.
