installed from files on the Compaq SSD for Windows NT diskettes.
Instructions for creating these diskettes are provided earlier in this chapter in
“Creating Installation Diskettes for Common Operating Systems.” For
instructions on installing the driver after Windows NT has been installed, see
the section titled “Installing the Integrated Smart Array Controller Driver After
Windows Installation” later in this chapter.

privileges.

3. Start the Setup utility by typing the file name in the Start, Run area:
