INSTALLATION PROCEDURE FOR WINDOWS 3.51
=========================================================================
Do not attempt to install the PD CD-ROM drivers from the Windows NT
installation diskettes/program. After Windows NT is completely
installed, follow these steps and install the PD/CD-ROM drivers from the
Windows NT "Setup" menu.
Many of the menus and options that you will be using to install the
ATAPI PD/CD-ROM device driver refer to SCSI adapters and devices. Please
follow these menus as directed in the following steps to successfully
install the ATAPI PD/CD-ROM in your system.
1. Be sure to close any running applications before installing the PC/CD-
ROM device driver.
2. Open the "Main Menu" and double click on the "Windows NT Setup" icon.
3. Select the "Options" menu and choose "Add/Remove SCSI Adapters..."
All currently installed SCSI and ATAPI Adapters/Drivers will be listed
in the dialogue box. If there are any currently installed ATAPI CD-ROM
drivers or previously installed PD/CD-ROM drivers, they must be removed.
To remove the drivers go to step 4. If no drivers are listed, skip to
step 8.
4. Select the adapter that needs to be removed, probably called
"IDE CD-ROM(ATAPI 1.2) Dual-Channel ATAPI PCI".
5. Click on the "Remove..." button.
6. Select "OK" to confirm removing a SCSI adapter.
7. Repeat steps 4 - 6 until all ATAPI and previous versions of the
PD/CD-ROM device drivers are removed.
8. Click on the "Add..." button.
9. Select "OK" to confirm adding a SCSI adapter.
10. In the "Select SCSI Adapter Option" dialogue box, select
"Other(Requires disk from a hardware manufacturer)".
11. Insert your device driver diskette into your floppy drive and
change the path name to "A:\NT\35".
12. Select "OK" to confirm.
13. In the "Select OEM Option" dialogue box, select "ATAPI PD/CD-ROM
Driver".
14. Select "OK" to confirm.
15. In the "Select SCSI Adapter Option" dialogue box, select "ATAPI
PD/CD-ROM Driver".
16. Click on the ""Install" button.
17. If a previous version of the driver has been installed, select the
"New Driver" button then select "Continue".
18. "Close" the "SCSI Adapter Setup" window.
19. Exit the "Windows NT Setup".
20. Remove the device driver diskette from the floppy drive and re-boot
your system. Your system will now boot up with both PD and CD-ROM
available.
