CD-ROM driver
This driver is provided in case you need to re-load your operating system (for
example, if you install a new hard disk). In such a case, you will need to be able
to access the CD-ROM drive.
To install CD-ROM drivers:
1. Turn off the power to the eBuddy.
2. Connect the external floppy disk drive to the eBuddy as described in “Con-
necting the external floppy disk drive” on page 39.
3. Connect the external CD-ROM drive to the eBuddy as described in “Con-
necting the external CD-ROM drive” on page 35.
4. Turn on the power to the eBuddy and boot up the system into command
mode or DOS.
5. Insert the CD-ROM drivers diskette into the floppy disk drive.
6. Run
install.exe
from the diskette. You can run this program:
from command mode (DOS): type
install
at the
A:
prompt and press
Enter.
7. Accept the default or recommended settings presented by the program
installation screen, and click OK to run the program.
The program will install device driver in your config.sys file and place an
entry in your autoexec.bat file to execute the MSCDEX.EXE program
when the eBuddy boots up. MSCDEX is a Microsoft program that assigns
a drive letter to the CD-ROM drive. It must be present on the system at
boot-up in order for the computer to access the CD-ROM drive.
