Manual Installation

You may also manually install the external CD-RW device driver if the default setting conflicts with

your system. Perform the following procedures to complete the manual installation.

Note: The filename of the DOS device driver is different with the different version of driver package,

it could be ARICDI.EXE or NVICDI.EXE. However, you can find this driver in the root folder

of the diskette, the filename will be present as xxxCDI.EXE. The following example is

assumed the filename is ARICDI.EXE, replace the filename if you get the different driver file.

1. Copy the file ARICDI.EXE from the device driver diskette to your hard disk.

2. Add the following line to the TOP of your CONFIG.SYS file. If there is already a LASTDRIVE

line with a letter other than Z, change it to Z.

LASTDRIVE=Z

3. Add the following line to the BOTTOM of your CONFIG.SYS file:

DEVICE=drive:\path\ARICDI.EXE /P:3 /I:9 /D:MSCD001

Where

drive:\path

specifies the directory containing ARICDI.EXE.

Note: If your CONFIG.SYS file is already loaded with PCMCIA software, such as Cardsoft of

SystemSoft or Cardtalk of Databook, it is necessary to add the above line after the

PCMCIA software. Otherwise, the PCMCIA interface card will not be initialized

properly.
