Manual Installation
You may also manually install the external hard disk device driver.
Note: The filename of the DOS device driver is different with the different version of driver package,
it could be ARIHD.EXE or NVIHD.EXE. However, you can find this driver in the root folder
of the diskette, the filename will be present as xxxHD.EXE. The following example is assumed
the filename is NVIHD.EXE, replace the filename if you get the different driver file.
1. Copy the file NVIHD.EXE from the device driver diskette to a directory in your main hard disk
(e.g. C\PCMHD).
2. Add the following line to the BOTTOM of your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=drive:\path\ NVIHD.EXE /P:320
Where drive:\path specifies the directory containing NVIHD.EXE.
/P
is used to set the I/O ports, and the valid numbers are 320, 340, and 360.
Note: If your CONFIG.SYS file is already loaded with PCMCIA software, such as Cardsoft of
SystemSoft or Cardtalk of Databook, it is necessary to add the above line after the
PCMCIA software. Otherwise, the PCMCIA interface card will not be initialized properly.
The CONFIG.SYS file example:
LASTDRIVE=Z
DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEM.SYS
DEVICE=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE NOEMS X=D000-D3FF
FILES=40
BUFFERS=20
Rem put PCMCIA software here.
DEVICE=C:\PCMHD\NVIHD.EXE /P:320
5. Reboot your computer to activate the external hard disk drive.
