THE ATA 66 DRIVER INSTALLATION

Ø Installing the Windows 95/98 Drivers

Usually, when you boot up the Windows 95/98 system for the first time,

the system will be able to detect the HPT366 Ultra DMA host Adapter

automatically and ask you to install the driver for HPT366. You can just

follow the instructions promted by the system to install the driver. The

driver is located in the following directory:

D:\drivers\hp-ata66\Win9X

(Where D is your CD-ROM driver letter)

hardware?", choose "No" then click on the "Next" button.

and click on the "Next" button.

9. Make sure that the SOYO-CD is in your CD-ROM drive and click on
