To install Windows for Workgroups drivers
=========================================
If you've installed a commercial version of Windows or Windows for Workgroups,
you'll need to manually install the required OmniBook device drivers or use
the OmniBook 5700 Windows 3.X Driver Setup program. These steps modify some
of your system files-such as WIN.INI and AUTOEXEC.BAT. An original version of
each file is preserved in the C:\OMNI_DRV.XXX directory.
1. If you have an internal CD-ROM drive, install it in the OmniBook.
-or-
If you have a SCSI CD-ROM drive and a docking system, connect the SCSI
CD-ROM drive to the docking system.
-or-
If you have a PCCard or parallel port CD-ROM drive, connect the PCCard or
parallel port CD-ROM drive. See "To set up a PCCard or parallel port
CD-ROM drive."
2. Connect the AC adapter to the OmniBook.
3. Insert the Support Utility floppy disk.
4. Reset the OmniBook. The DOS 6.22 Startup menu appears.
5. Click option 5:
Exit to MS-DOS
6. Insert the Recovery CD in the CD-ROM drive.
7. From the DOS prompt, enter C:\WINDOWS\WIN to start Windows.
The path may need to be adjusted if Windows was installed in a location
other than the default.
8. From File Manager, go to the CD-ROM drive.
9. Double-click SETUP.EXE in the \omnibook\wfw_drv\disk1 directory.
The OmniBook 5700 Windows 3.X Drivers Setup menu appears.
10. Choose Next to install the drivers, then follow the setup instructions.
To set up a PCCard or parallel port CD-ROM drive
================================================
IMPORTANT
---------
Before the OmniBook can recognize the CD-ROM drive, you'll need to edit
the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files on the Support Utility disk. The
required device-driver statements come from the CD-ROM manufacturer.
The general steps for setting up a PCCard CD-ROM drive are as follows:
1. Copy the device drivers that came with your PCCard CD-ROM drive
to the A:\tools directory on the HP Support Utility Disk.
2. Add the device=driver statements to the CONFIG.SYS file on the
Support Utility disk. The device statements should immediately
follow the [USERCD] label.
3. Check the AUTOEXEC.BAT file to make sure that the CD-ROM drive
is assigned as drive G:.
What you'll need from your CD-ROM manufacturer
----------------------------------------------
1. The names of the device drivers to copy to the Support Utility disk.
2. The device=driver statements to add the CONFIG.SYS file.
3. Statements that the CD-ROM drive needs in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
HINT
====
Both the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files contain comments that should
help your CD-ROM manufacturer advise you in editing the files to meet the
particular requirements.
Download Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
