Expanding the OmniBook Installing a Hard Disk Drive To create a Hibernate partition If you do not have an OmniBook 3000 Support Utility floppy disk, create one now. After inserting a formatted floppy disk in the floppy drive, do one of the following: • On a factory software installation, click Start, Programs, OmniBook, Create Support Utility Disk. • On any computer, run makesupp.bat from the \Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory on the OmniBook 3000 Recovery CD . (Note: Use the \Omnibook\Drivers\Hputils directory, not \Omnibook \Hputils). • On any computer, download the Support Utility software package from the OmniBook website (http://www.hp.com/go/omnibook).
Follow the instructions provided. 1. Connect the ac adapter to the OmniBook. 2. Insert the Support Utility disk in the floppy disk drive or insert the bootable Recovery CD in your CD-ROM drive. (If you are using the Recovery CD to boot from, verify that the CD-ROM is listed before the Hard Drive in the Boot menu by rebooting and pressing F2, then look at the Boot menu.) 3. Reset the OmniBook. The DOS Startup menu appears. 4. Choose option 3: Create Hibernate Partition (erases Hard Disk) 5. Choose Y to Continue. 6. When prompted for “Hibernate” partition size, we recommend that you create a 144-MB partition, the same as the factory default.
Do not interrupt the Hibernate partition process or unplug the ac adapter until complete. 6-5
