The other procedure is from ‘Control Panel.’ Click on ‘Add/Remove
Programs’
icon, click on the ‘Install’ button then follow the on screen

HOT INSERT/REMOVE THE PCMCIA CD-ROM

The PCMCIA interface specification defines that you may hot
insert/remove the PCMCIA interface card, which means you can
insert, remove or exchange the card from your system at any
time without rebooting or turning off your system.

However, for any given system, the PCMCIA CD-ROM, being a
storage device itself, can not be hot removed when it is in use by
a program. To avoid some sort of system failure, read the
following carefully before using hot-removal technology.

DOS/Windows 3.X

you are allowed to hot insert/remove the PCMCIA CD-ROM ONLY when
your computer is loaded with a PCMCIA software which is ExCA
compliant. If your system doesn’t have such software, it is necessary to
connect the PCMCIA CD-ROM first before your computer is being
booted. Do not hot remove the card when the CD-ROM is accessing the
data.

Windows 95

The hot-swapping is allowed with more limitation. To avoid system
failure, always follow the below steps to hot remove the PCMCIA CD-
ROM in Windows 95,

1) Click the PC card indicator on the task bar at the right bottom of screen.
2) Click the command to stop the card you want to remove.
3) Read the screen prompts instruction carefully. If the system prompts you

not to remove the card, DO NOT remove the card. You should exit the
present application and return to step 1.
