Making a Floppy Disk

If you need to use a floppy disk to install the adapter drivers, you have two options: You can:

Usage is as follows:

MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used.

The possible [operating system] options are:

NT = Microsoft Windows NT
W2K = Microsoft Windows* 2000
W9X = Microsoft Windows* 95 and Windows 98 and Windows* ME
NW = Novell NetWare servers and clients
DOS = Microsoft DOS and IBM OS2
MODEM = Modem drivers for the PRO/100 Mobile Combo adapters for all Microsoft operating systems.

Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in the floppy drive when using this utility.

NOTE: Due to size limitations, PROSet and other advanced features cannot be installed from the floppy disk.

NOTE: This utility MUST be run from the \MAKEDISK directory.

Alternately, you can use the following .BAT files (located in the \MAKEDISK directory on this CD) to simplify this process:

MAKEW9X.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 95 and Windows 98.

MAKENT.BAT -- Creates drivers disks for Windows NT.

MAKEW2K.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 2000.

MAKENW.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Novell NetWare servers and clients.

For Windows 9x, Me and 2000 the created floppy will contain only the base drivers and NOT the advanced networking features installations. These may be installed from the Intel CD or over the network once the base connection has been established.

Example:

MAKEDISK NT A: <Enter>
