1.3 Quick Windows Driver Installation
To load the SYMMPI.SYS miniport driver during a new Windows NT,
Windows 2000, Windows XP or Windows NET system installation, you
can boot directly from the Microsoft installation CD-ROM. The Windows
drivers are not interchangeable, however the instructions are very similar.
To install a new Windows operating system and its appropriate device
driver, follow these steps:
Step 1. Have the Windows NT driver diskette or Windows 2000 driver
diskette available for inserting into drive A when prompted.
Step 2. Boot the computer from the Microsoft Windows CD-ROM.
Step 3. Press F6 when the words Setup is inspecting your
computer's hardware configuration appear, or when
Windows prompts you for nonsupported drivers.
Important: You must press F6 for the new driver to be recognized. Oth-
erwise, the system does not recognize the devices con-
trolled by the driver during the Windows setup.
Step 4. Follow the instructions until a screen displaying the words
Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass
storage device… appears.
Step 5. Choose S to Specify Additional Devices.
Step 6. Follow the prompts and insert the Windows NT driver diskette
or Windows 2000 driver diskette when prompted.
Step 7. Follow the Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2000
installation procedure to complete the installation. Microsoft
provides documentation with their installation CD-ROM.
Step 8. Install the Windows NT 4.0 Service Packs 5 or higher after
Windows NT 4.0 has been installed.
