Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not display the CD-ROM drive information when you
review the configuration-setup information. You still can use the CD-ROM drive in this situation as long as you
have properly completed the installation.
Installing Device Drivers:
This section contains the instructions for installing device drivers for the CD-ROM drive, based on the
operating system you are using. Go to the section which corresponds to your operating system. Note: User
requirements vary; if you are using DOS or OS/2 as your operating system, the device driver settings for those
operating systems can be customized. If your system does not work well with the default settings given in the
installation instructions in this section, please refer to Customizing Device Driver Configuration Settings for
information on how to customize your device driver configuration settings.
- If you are using Windows 95, go to Installing the Device Driver for Windows 95.
- If you are using DOS, DOS with MicroSoft Windows 3.X, Windows 95 in DOS mode, or OS/2, go to Installing
the Device Driver for DOS, DOS with Windows 3.X, or OS/2 3.0 and Higher.
- If you are using Windows NT 3.51, go to Installing the Device Driver for Windows NT 3.51.
- If you are using Windows NT 4.0, go to Installing the Device Driver for Windows NT 4.0.
- If you are using another operating system, see the documentation that comes with your computer and
operating system.
Then, go to Using the Drive.
Installing the Device Driver for Windows 95:
In most instances, Microsoft Windows 95 will automatically detect the CD-ROM drive. If the CD-ROM drive is
automatically detected, Windows 95 will then use the device drivers which are included with the operating
system, and you will not need to install the drivers on the Option Diskette. If Windows 95 is in 32-bit mode for
IDE, the CD-ROM drive will be recognized by the operating system. Otherwise, follow the instructions on your
screen to install the device drivers from the Option Diskette.
Installing the Device Driver for DOS, DOS with Windows 3.X, or OS/2 3.0 and Higher:
1. Go to a command prompt.
2. Insert the Option Diskette into drive A.
3. Type the letter of the drive, a colon, and CDSETUP (such as, A:CDSETUP), then press Enter.
4. CDSETUP will present a menu of options:
- SETUP: This option will install the appropriate device drivers.
- CDDIAG: This is a diagnostic program which will test your IDE CD-ROM drive.
- README: This contains information about situations which are not covered by these installation
instructions.
- HELP: This provides information about how to use the SETUP program.
- EXIT: This returns you to the command prompt or main screen of your operating system.
5. From the CDSETUP menu, use your mouse or the arrow keys to select the SETUP option.
6. Follow the instructions on your screen to properly install the device driver.
7. When setup is completed, select the EXIT option to exit the CDSETUP program.
8. You will need to restart your computer in order for the changes to take effect.
