8. After re-installing the Operating System you should re-
install all drivers. Please refer to the “Installing Drivers”
section of this chapter for information.
9. Create a directory on the hard drive for the operating
system installation files.
Windows 95: Create a directory on the hard drive under
C:\Windows called Options and then make a directory under that
called Cabs. The new directory path is
C:\Windows\Options\Cabs. Copy the Win95 directory from the
Microsoft CD onto the hard drive’s C:\Windows\Options\Cabs
directory.
Windows NT: After completing the installation of Windows NT,
locate the directory on the Microsoft O/S CD labeled, I386. Copy
this directory to the drive where the operating system is located,
most likely drive C:\. The files in this directory are needed when
installing certain drivers such as network drivers.
Using the DIGITAL HiNote System CD
This section describes the steps used to install a Microsoft
Operating system and drivers onto a new hard drive, or on an
existing drive which needs restoration.
Preparing a New Hard Drive
PHDISKF and FDISK are the two utilities needed in order to
prepare the hard disk for general use. These utilities can be
found on the DIGITAL HiNote System CD. The FDISK utility
formats the hard drive while the PHDISKF utility creates a DOS
file on the hard drive. This DOS file is necessary in order to take
advantage of the notebook’s Save to Disk power management
feature.
