When you have finished “Set Basic Parameters”, click the
OK
button to close the Add/Edit Configuration window and to proceed with
the installation process. Windows will finish building the driver configuration database and copy some files to your computer’s hard disk.
■
If the Windows operating system prompts you to identify the location of the Windows files, specify the drive and directory of the
Windows Installation CD-ROM or diskettes. When you had a Mini-PCI Card installed on your computer before, most of these files are
already available on your hard disk drive. If you do not have the Windows CD-ROM available, you may try replacing the proposed path
in the Copy Files From dialog box with:
“C:\Windows\System” or “C:\Windows\”
■
If the Windows operating system prompts you to identify the location of the driver files (typically file names starting with the characters
wv*.v) specify the drive and directory of the Software:
— if installing from the CD-ROM specify the drive in one of the following directories on the Software CD-ROM.
Windows 95:D:\Drivers\Win_95
Windows 98:D:\Drivers\Win_98
Windows 2000:D:\Drivers\Win_2000
Windows Millennium:D:\Drivers\Win_98
— if installing files that you downloaded from the Internet, point to the disk drive or directory where you saved the downloaded files.
