Reinstalling Windows
This chapter has instructions for installing or recovering an operating system. You
can install or recover
♦ Windows 3.1 or 3.11 from your own disks (that is, back up disks created
during the initial installation of Windows, or purchased disks).
♦ Windows 95 from the Recovery CD that came with the OmniBook.
♦ Other HP programs, online User’s Guide, and drivers from the Recovery CD
that came with your OmniBook.
♦ Windows NT and OS/2 Warp from your own disks, and using instructions and
drivers from the Corporate Evaluator’s Guide on our website at
http://www.hp.com/go/omnibook. In addition, this site contains the latest
updates of software drivers, and information on configuring the OmniBook in
a corporate, networked environment.
You can also create a FAT32 (file allocation table, 32-bit) hard-disk configuration
using either the Recovery CD or a separate product, such as PartitionMagic by
PowerQuest. Using the Recovery CD to create a FAT32 hard-disk configuration
necessitates erasing the hard drive and making a floppy boot disk.
As part of your initial setup of the computer, you have one opportunity to select
one of the pre-installed operating systems. See chapter 1.
