Starting Out with Your OmniBook Setting Up To install an alternate operating system You provide the software to install the alternate operating system. You will need OmniBook-specific drivers, which we provide. The drivers for alternate operating systems are on the Recovery CD ROM, under OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WINNT and OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\OS2. Different versions of an operating system require different drivers , so make sure to select the appropriate driver. You can also find the drivers on the OmniBook's hard drive under C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS. C A U T I O N Before you start installing a new operating system, make sure the drivers you need will be accessible after the installation .
If you do not have a CD-ROM drive, then copy the drivers you need from the Omnibook directory of the hard disk to a floppy disk. Alternatively, check our World-Wide Web site (http://www.hp.com/go/omnibook) for the drivers. 1. Install your alternate operating system. 2. If you have a CD-ROM drive, connect it according to the instructions for your operating system. This gives you access to the information on the Recovery CD. Otherwise, use the floppy disk you made per the Caution above. 3. Load the drivers you need from the Recovery CD or from a floppy disk onto the hard-disk drive. Each driver includes instructions for installing it. 1-13
