Microsoft Windows Device Drivers from Compaq
To support Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 operating systems,
Compaq provides drivers on the SmartStart CD, some of which are contained
within the Windows NT retail product. Drivers on the Support Software
Diskettes (SSD) may be newer versions and may include new functionality
and problem fixes.
For more information on the drivers, run the README.BAT file in the root
directory of the SSD for Windows NT. This file loads the WinHelp file
NTREADME.HLP.
If you use SmartStart to install your operating system, these drivers install
automatically. Otherwise, you can use SmartStart to create the Windows NT
SSDs from Compaq to support a manual installation of Windows NT.
Manual Installation for Windows NT
To perform the manual installation of the Microsoft Windows NT Device
Drivers (that is, without SmartStart), execute the following procedure:
1. Launch the SmartStart CD as described previously in this chapter.
2. Launch manual operating system configuration:
a. Select the System Configuration Utility.
b. Select the Operating System Installation option from the System
Configuration Utility main menu.
3. Follow the instructions provided for the operating system you are
installing.
