CHAPTER 5: Driver Installation
5.3 Installing Drivers for Windows 98
With an additional software driver, your
Ultra2 LVD SCSI Host Adapter
will support
Microsoft Windows 98. The installation procedure described here requires some
experience in Windows 98 system setup and administration. The device driver is
transferred from Driver Disk 1 to the hard drive, from which it is automatically
loaded during the system-boot routine.
These installation files are in the “A:\WIN95” directory on Driver Disk 1, because
they are identical to the files used for Windows 95: “A:\WIN95\INIA100.MPD” is the
Adapter’s Windows 95/98 miniport driver, and “A:\WIN95\INIA100.INF” is the
Windows 95/98 installation-information file.
The Adapter’s Windows 98 driver is loaded during the system-boot routine and
will remain resident on the drive. This is accomplished by following one of the
three installation procedures listed in this section: new Windows 98 installation,
adding the Adapter’s Windows 98 device driver to an existing Windows 98 system,
or updating the INIA100.MPD device driver. These procedures differ significantly
from one another. We strongly suggest that you carefully read the instructions for
the procedure you plan to use and make sure you understand them before
proceeding with the corresponding system-configuration changes.

NSTALLATION
These instructions will guide you through the installation of the
Ultra2 LVD SCSI
Host Adapter
’s Windows 98 driver while installing Windows 98 itself. Windows 98
will be installed from either a CD-ROM or floppy diskettes. It is important that the
hardware have been installed successfully before proceeding further. If you are
installing from a SCSI CD-ROM drive, it is important that the Adapter’s ASPI driver
and CD-ROM driver be installed (see Section 5.1) before proceeding further.
1A. If you’re installing from CD-ROM: Access the Windows 98 CD-ROM either from
the DOS prompt, from the Microsoft Windows 3.x File Manager, or through
the “My Computer” icon on the Windows 98 desktop. Execute the
SETUP.EXE program and follow the instructions on your screen.
1B. If you’re installing from floppy diskette: Put Windows 98 Setup Disk 1 in your
floppy-disk drive and boot your system. Follow the instructions on your
screen.
