Manual Installation
You may also manually install the external DVD-ROM 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 ARICDF.EXE or NVICDF.EXE. However, you can find this driver in the root
folder of the diskette, the filename will be present as xxxCDF.EXE. The following example is
assumed the filename is ARICDF.EXE, replace the filename if you get the different driver file.
1. Copy the file ARICDF.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

BOTTOM of your CONFIG.SYS file:
DEVICE=
drive:\path
\ARICDF.EXE /P:320 /D:MSCD001
Where
drive:\path
specifies the directory containing ARICDF.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.
