****************************************************************************
This installation procedure is specific only to the current version of the 
driver and installation file. 

NOTE:  
    The driver (HPT370.MPD) and installation file (HPT370.INF) must be
    located on the same directory of the install floppy diskette.

Usually, when you plug the HPT370 Ultra DMA host adapter into your system and
boot up the Windows 95/98 system, the system will detect the HPT370
Ultra DMA host Adapter automatically, and ask you to install the driver for HPT370.
Follow the instructions as promted by the system to install the driver.

If Windows 95/98 does not automatically detect the HPT370 controller, follow the instructions outlined
 below:

Using the Windows Add New Hardware function:
1.  Close any running applications.
 
2. Open "My Computer".

3. Double click on the "Control Panel" icon.

4. Double click on the "Add New Hardware" icon.

5. Click on the "Next" button.

6. A window will ask: "Do you want Windows to search for new hardware?", select  "No"  then click on the "Next" button.

7. Various device types will be listed.  Select SCSI controllers and press Next.

7. Insert the driver installation diskette into drive A, then click on the "Have Disk..." button.

8. Click on the "OK" button.

9. Click on the "Next" button.

10. If you see a window that displays the settings (resources) to be used by the driver, click on "Next"  again.  Windows will then install the driver.

11. Click on the "Finish" button.

12. The system will then ask you to restart the system.


NOTE: The driver for ACPI function is useful only if hardware supports ACPI function.


U N - I N S T A L L I N G  T H E  D R I V E R :
****************************************************************************
You can use the device manager in the System control panel to remove the
driver -  but, Windows will reinstall them automatically the next time the system boots up.

To remove the drivers from the system, locate and delete the following files.
The files are installed into the following directories:

hptpwr.vxd	c:\windows\system\iosubsys

hpt370.mpd	c:\windows\system\iosubsys

hpt370.inf	c:\windows\inf\other

Once these files have been deleted, restart the system.
