===================================================
Windows 2000
The Lava USB 2.0 Host PCI card does not use a setup utility
to install in Windows 2000. Instead, the card is automatically
detected by Windows during boot and the New Hardware hardware
wizard is run. Windows then searches your hard and
floppy drives for an .inf file that includes the setup
information for the new hardware.
NOTE ON OPERATION:
The USB busses are designed for "HOT" Plugging and unplugging.
When removing, unplugging the Lava Kazan drive enclosure, follow
Window's procedure for removing hardware:
- Open the "Unplug or Eject Hardware" wizard by clicking on
its icon, which can be found in the Windows System Tray
at the bottom right corner of the Windows screen.
- Select/Highlight the drive
- Click "CLose"
- Windows will inform you when it is safe to remove the drive.
NOTE:
If you not properly unplug your devices from the USB 2.0 PCI
Host Adapter, a message indicating the presence of an "Unknown
Device" may appear causing improper subsequent installation.
To restore the device follow these steps:
1. Power off the device.
2. Enter Device Manager|Universal Serial Bus controllers
and remove the "Unknown device".
3. Delete the files unknown.inf and unknown.pnf from the
\winnt\inf directory.
4. Power up the device and the system will find and
recognize/reinstall the device.
