Configuring a PC Card
1.
The Windows operating system immediately detects the insertion of the card.
2.
If Windows recognizes the card it automatically loads any drivers required by
the card, and allocates any resources that are required by the card. Windows
usually displays a New Hardware Found dialog box that tells you that the card
has been successfully configured. The next time you use the card, Windows
configures it automatically without interruption.
3.
If Windows cannot recognize the card, or lacks the drivers or software to run the
card, an Add New Hardware Wizard appears. Follow the prompts of the series
of dialog boxes generated by the Add New Hardware Wizard. If a dialog box
asks for the location of drivers or software, you can click the Have Disk button
and browse to the location of the software. The next time you use the card,
Windows configures it automatically without interruption.
4.
When a card is inserted, a PC card icon appears on the taskbar. You can double

click the icon to open the PC Card Properties window and see the status of the
PC card.
If you have installed a storage-type memory card, your computer
allocates a drive name to the card. Check the My Computer window
to identify the card's drive name.
Removing a PC Card
1.
To remove a card, double click the PC card icon in the taskbar to open the PC

On the right side of the computer, on the left side of the PC card slot, pull the
