If the OmniBook doesn’t reboot successfully

If drive C (the hard disk) isn’t working properly, insert the Support Utility floppy
disk in the floppy drive, then press CTRL+ALT+DEL to reboot from drive A—
then choose the Minimum Startup option. At the MS-DOS prompt, type
scandisk c: to fix certain problems with drive C. You can use other commands
on drive A to try to repair drive C. Then remove the floppy disk and try rebooting
again. If it still doesn’t start, you could try reinstalling all of the original files on
drive C—see

“Restoring Files.”

If the OmniBook doesn’t reboot successfully from drive A

If the OmniBook doesn’t reboot from drive A, press FN+F2 to start the System
Configuration utility. Check that the floppy drive is the first boot device.
