Chapter 3 Windows Driver Installation - Magma PCI Expansion System User Manual

Chapter 3
MAGMA CardBus Expansion Drivers are required for Windows
2000/XP. However, before attempting to install anything on a Windows
XP system, you should ensure that you have set a new Restore Point.
Then, you will need to disable the Windows XP restore utility before
continuing. See your Windows XP manual to learn how to do this. You
should ensure that all data files are closed and that you have a current
backup.
Follow the Step-by-Step Instructions included in Chapter 2 prior to
installing the MAGMA CardBus Expansion Driver. It is important to
apply power to the expansion chassis first, and then apply power to your
computer.
STOP
Before attempting to install the new MAGMA CardBus Expansion
Driver, you must ensure that you have a current system backup of all
of your important data.
Failure to follow these instructions exactly could result in a system
lock-up and potential loss of data.
