BOOTING THE SYSTEM
WITH WINDOWS 2000 PROFESSIONAL

We strongly recommend that you do not attach any
external devices and do not put a CD or floppy disk in
any drive until you have gone through the initial power
on sequence.

When you turn on your LifeBook for the first time,
it will display a Fujitsu logo on the screen and then the
Windows 2000 Professional setup screen will appear.
The Windows 2000 Professional setup will prompt you
through a series of screens. You will be asked to enter
custom and computer information, user password, date
and time, workgroup or computer domain and accept or
reject the license agreement. Once you have entered all
the information you will be asked to restart your
computer.

REGISTERING YOUR LIFEBOOK

What are the benefits of registering?

You will receive an identification label for your LifeBook,
which, if your LifeBook is ever lost, may help in getting it
returned to you. You also receive priority Personal Iden-
tification Number (PIN) technical support access and
useful product mailings. Proof of purchase is not
required if you register within 30 days of your purchase.

How do I register?

With Windows 98 Second Edition or Windows Me, it is a
part of the Welcome process. If you do not register
during the Welcome process you can double-click on the

nothing the system will read the hard drive for the

different countries, Windows 98 or Windows Me needs
