DC Power Source
• Inspect the fuse in the DC power cable. If the fuse is blown, replace it
with an equivalent value. If fuses are blown repeatedly, the computer or
pre-regulator should be serviced.
6.3.6 I/O Ports
• Verify that the BIOS setup for I/O is correct (see “Typical Resource Alloca-
tion For Windows 98” on page 40).
• Make sure that the PCMCIA card and the I/O are not conflicting.
6.4 D: Install Partition
The files on the D: partition can be used to restore a corrupted operating system or
C: drive without using any external storage devices. Keep in mind, however, that an
external keyboard is required.
This procedure will only restore the C: drive to factory software; it will not restore
data or reload client applications.
• Boot the unit into safe mode by pressing <F8> before Windows boots.
• Select command prompt only.
• Type d: to switch to the D drive.
• Type Format C: to erase the entire contents of the C drive.
• Once the drive has been formatted, type “cd win98” to switch to the Win98
directory.
• Follow Microsoft help to install Microsoft Windows 98.
Once Win98 is installed, the PCI, radio and touch screen drivers will need to be
installed. “Software Loading/Installation Procedure” on page 77 describes the steps
you must follow to complete this task.
