Using the Recovery CD Recovering OmniBook Files CAUTION To update the OmniBook BIOS Hewlett-Packard may update the BIOS to enhance the capabilities of the OmniBook. Updates will be available from HP Electronic Support Services. Because a BIOS update replaces the previous version, it is very important you follow these instructions exactly. Otherwise, the OmniBook may be damaged. The BIOS update process resets the configuration settings in the BIOS Setup utility except for the PC Identification and Password. 1. From the Start menu, shut down the OmniBook. 2. Connect the ac adapter to the OmniBook. 3. Remove any PC Cards. 4. Insert the BIOS Update disk in the floppy disk drive. 5. Press the blue power button. 6. When prompted, choose the correct language. 7. When prompted, press C. This starts a process that takes approximately 1 minute. 8. When prompted, insert a paperclip into the system-off recess. This starts the update process. Once it begins, do not interrupt the update process. 1-108
