2. Connect the ac adapter and turn on the OmniBook.
3. When you see the HP logo, press F2 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
4. Open the Boot menu and select CD-ROM as the first boot device. ( You may want
to change the boot order back to Diskette Drive after completing this procedure .)
5. Insert the Recovery CD into the CD-ROM drive.
6. Press F10, then press Yes to save and exit the BIOS Setup utility.

The default file system is FAT32. After the hard drive is erased and partitioned,
the OmniBook reboots and begins copying files from the
Recovery CD .
The recovery process can take up to an hour. Do not interrupt the recovery
process or unplug the ac adapter until recovery is completed .
