Step 8. Updating your computer configuration
After you have completed the hardware installation, restart your computer.
Usually, the configuration-setup information screen is displayed. If this screen
is not displayed, check your computer documentation for information about
accessing the configuration or setup utility program.
To see the configuration information for most IBM computers, press the F1
button during startup. When you have finished reviewing the information,
save the changes and exit.
Note: Some older computers with one IDE port might not display the
CD-ROM drive information when you review the configuration-setup
information. You still can use the CD-ROM drive in this situation if you
have correctly completed the installation.
Step 9. Installing device drivers
This section contains the instructions for installing device drivers for the
CD-ROM drive, based on the operating system you are using.
Note: User requirements vary; the device driver settings for that operating
system can be customized. If your computer does not work well with
the default settings given in the installation instructions in this section,
refer to “Appendix A. Customizing device driver configuration settings”
on page A-1 for information on customizing your device driver
configuration settings.
Device driver for Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT, Windows
2000, and Windows Me
Windows 98 and Windows Me automatically detect the CD-ROM drive and do
not present any installation screens. If the driver installation screens are
displayed after your operating system starts, follow the instructions on the
screen to install the device drivers. Consult the documentation that comes with
your operating system for more information.
