Starting Out with Your OmniBook Setting Up the OmniBook To select a preinstalled operating system When your OmniBook starts up the first time, it takes you through a series of setup screens, including installation of the operating system. This product offers a choice between two Microsoft operating systems: Windows 95, or Windows for Workgroups. (See the steps below.) As part of the setup procedure, you must make a one-time, final selection of the operating system you want to use. Once made, this selection can be changed only by purchasing new copies of MS-DOS 6.22 and Windows 3.1 or 3.11.
(Windows 95 is included on the Recovery CD-ROM.) Note If you have a docking system, you should not have it connected during the installation of the operating system. If you’re installing Windows 95 After you have installed Windows 95, you should back up your initial system configuration. Microsoft provides an Emergency Recovery Utility (ERU) on the Windows 95 CD-ROM provided with your computer, in OTHER\MISC\ERU. The ERU backs up important system files, providing easy recovery of those files in case of a system failure. It is recommended that you create a new backup when you make significant changes to your system, such as adding new hardware or software.
