Using Windows 3.x
The initial OmniBook installation loads either Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or the
industry standard Windows 95B OSR2. This version of Windows 95 can be
reinstalled from the Recovery CD. Windows for Workgroups can be reinstalled only
if you create installation disks. Any other operating system can be installed from
retail disks—device drivers and OmniBook applications can be added from the
Recovery CD.
The following procedure reinstalls Windows for Workgroups 3.11 or installs
Windows 3.1 and configures appropriate device drivers.
Requirements
♦
OmniBook 800.
♦
MS-DOS 6.22 disks.
♦
Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11 disks.
♦
OmniBook 800 Windows 3.x Driver Setup Program.
Location: Recovery CD in \OMNIBOOK\WFW_DRV. Copy this program to four
disks or install it from the CD-ROM.
♦
OmniBook Support Utility Disk is required if you install from CD-ROM.
Note If you chose Windows for Workgroups 3.11 during the initial setup of the
OmniBook 800, you can make copies of the MS-DOS and Windows for
Workgroups Disks from the Hard Drive. When Windows starts for the first time, it
asks you to make these disks, or you can click the Make OmniBook Installation
Disks icon in the OmniBook group.
Before You Start
•
This installation assumes you have the default HP Windows for Workgroups
3.11 or Windows 95 build on the hard drive. Reformatting the hard drive before
installing MS-DOS and Windows ensures a clean installation.
