Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Installing Windows NT 3.51 on the OmniBook 800 System Installation Requirements: HP OmniBook 800 16MB of RAM (preferably 24-32MB) HP OmniBook 800 external CD-ROM drive connected via SCSI cable connection to back of HP OmniBook 800. HP OmniBook 800 external 3.5" floppy disk drive connected to HP OmniBook 800. Important--Before Installation: Make sure that you have the available HP OmniBook 800 specific drivers for Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Workstation. These drivers can be located in the C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WINNT\VIDEO and C:\OMNIBOOK\DRIVERS\WINNT\SOUND directories. These drivers can also be found on the HP OmniBook 800 recovery CD-ROM disk. If you plan to format the drive in order to have Windows NT as the sole operating system, make copies of these drivers before formatting the drive. If you do plan on formatting the drive, backup any critical files that you may need in the future. This installation guide assumes that either the hard drive is blank and has been formatted for a FAT (File Allocation Table) file system or contains a resident operating system of Microsoft Windows 95. Also, installation is assumed to be local over a CD-ROM drive. For information on a distributed share (or network installation) please refer to the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Guide. Specifically chapter 3 "Customizing Windows NT Setup" for further information. Procedure: IMPORTANT: Before installing Windows NT 3.51 on the OmniBook 800 you must make a BIOS level change. Boot up the OmniBook 800 and press the `F2' key to enter BIOS configuration. Under the `System' heading, choose `Boot Devices' then put a check mark next to the `Force PCI Bridge Configuration' title. This will allow Windows NT to detect all hardware in the OmniBook 800. If this is not done, the installation process will crash on the second boot up disk. Confirm that the HP OmniBook 800 is completely turned off. If you are in a Windows 95 session, exit by choosing `Start Menu' then `Shutdown.' Windows 95 will shutdown the OmniBook 800. Confirm that the external CD-ROM drive and the external floppy disk drive are both connected to the OmniBook 800. Also, plug in the AC adapter to provide uninterrupted power during the installation process. Insert the Windows NT 3.51 Workstation Setup Boot Disk into the external floppy disk drive. Place the Windows NT 3.51 Workstation CD-ROM into the external CD-ROM drive. Power up the HP OmniBook 800 by pressing the `On/Off' button located at the top right side of the keyboard. This will allow the boot process to load from the floppy drive. During this process, Windows NT will load all necessary files. If the boot process does not start, press the reset button. The setup program will then prompt you for Setup Book Disk #2. Insert the disk then press the `Enter' key. Setup loads necessary files for installation from disk #2. Setup will prompt you with the `Welcome to Setup' message. Press `Enter' to setup Windows NT 3.51 now. Setup now prompts you to choose between `Express' or `Custom' setup options. Press the `C' key to complete a Custom Setup. Setup will ask you whether you want to specify your hardware components or have Windows NT find them. Press the `Enter' key to let Windows NT auto- detect hardware components. Setup will now ask for `Setup Book Disk #3'_place Setup Book Disk #3 into the floppy drive then press the `Enter' key. Setup now begins a detection process to determine what type of SCSI drivers need to be loaded. Depending on whether the SCSI device is detected or not, you should follow the applicable instructions on the screen. The default is pressing `Enter' because the SCSI device is recognized and the device drivers are loaded. In the case of the HP OmniBook 800, the `NCR PCI (53c810)' device will be detected and loaded. Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 Workstation Setup will prompt you for the type of installation (floppy or CD-ROM). Press `Enter' to choose CD-ROM installation. Windows NT Setup will now prompt you with a summary of the hardware components in the HP OmniBook 800. You need to make one change at this point_at the `Display' line change the setting from `VGA or Compatible' to `Standard VGA (640x480, 16 colors).' The next Windows NT prompt will ask which drive you want to install Windows NT on. Choose the corresponding drive that meets your needs then press the `Enter' key. Setup requires the user to make a file system type selection. Follow the Windows NT installation instructions and choose the type of file system that meets your needs. ============================================================ ==== NOTE: For a detailed discussion of FAT, HPFS, and NTFS file systems, please refer to the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Guide within the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit. Specifically chapter 5 `Windows NT File Systems and Advanced Disk Management.' ============================================================ ==== Setup will ask if you want to perform an `exhaustive test' of the hard disk. Follow the instructions on the screen to perform or to skip the test. Setup will now copy files fromt he CD-ROM to the hard disk. Setup will now ask you to remove the 3.5" floppy disk drive from the 3.5" floppy drive and then press the `Enter' key to reboot. Windows NT setup will now reboot the HP OmniBook 800. Once the HP OmniBook has rebooted, Setup will continue. Continue Windows NT Setup by entering your name and company name then press the `Enter' key. Confirm the input by pressing the `Enter' key once again or choosing the `Continue' option. You will now be prompted for the product identification number. This number is stamped on the back of the Windows NT jacket. You should enter the unique ID number and press the `Continue' option. Follow by pressing `Continue' or pressing the `Enter' key to confirm the product ID number. Windows NT requires you to provide a computer name to be recognized by a domain server (if applicable). Type in a unique name (15 characters maximum) and choose `Continue.' Choose `Continue' again to verify the computer name. Setup will ask for you to enter the correct language. Choose `Continue' for English (default) or select the appropriate language. Setup will now prompt you for local printer information. Choose your printer or choose cancel to setup a printer later. Setup will now begin `Network Card Setup.' Choose `Continue, Continue, No Network, and then OK' for the next four screens to bypass network card installation. If you wish to install Windows NT networking, see the appropriate application note for your network adapter. Windows NT will now begin copying files from the CD-ROM to your hard disk drive. After completion of CD-ROM file transfer, Setup will prompt you for an administrative password. Enter this password then press the `Continue' box. Setup will now prompt you for a local account. Enter the correct information then press `Continue.' All Program Groups will now be setup. Windows NT 3.51 Setup will prompt you to enter the correct time and date. Enter this information and choose the `OK' box. A detected display will now pop up asking the you to set the size and number of colors for the display. Let Windows NT Setup keep the VGA display setting it has chosen by choosing the `OK' box. Choose `OK' again to complete the video section of Windows NT Setup. Since Windows NT will not let you set up the correct video display adapter at this time, later in this chapter instructions will be given on changing the video display adapter to the correct settings. Windows NT 3.51 Workstation reports that it is saving configuration information. Windows NT will now reboot the OmniBook 800. After completion of the reboot, Windows NT 3.51 will be successfully installed on the HP OmniBook 800.Download Driver Pack
