A friend of mine gave me an HP Omnibook 4100 loaded with NT. She could no longer use it since she had forgotten her NT password. (The BIOS is also password protected - password unknown - but that's another story).
I would like to replace the OS with Win 98. I have a Win98 bootdisk, and am prepared to reformat the hard disk. However, of the swapable CDROM and floppy disk drive, only one can be installed at a time. Any tips for how I can install Win 98 on this thing when I can only boot from the floppy boot disk (with CDROM support) but the CDROM drivers don't install because no CDROM can be detected during boot up?
I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks.
