I'm attempting to help fix a friends old Omnibook 800CT, and it was so clogged up with crap (spyware, viruses, diallers etc) that it seemed it would be best to start with a clean slate, so I backed everything important up and formatted the HD.
The Omnibook is quite small (and old) and doesn't have a built in CD Rom drive - but they do have a specific external one which plugs into a proprietary socket at the back. Now its not possible to boot from CD on this computer which didn't suprise me, so I made a boot floppy.
However, now the windows 98 (I also tried a ME boot disk) boot disk CD rom drivers do not see any cd drive being there. Oh dear. I cannot find anything on HPs website. Oh dear.
So, save trying to track down a big set of old (working) Windows 95 or 98 installation floppies - does anyone know how I might install windows from a CD when the windows boot disks don't see the Omnibook CD rom drive?
