You should always install the IDE driver for DOS. If you are
using Windows, make sure you also install the IDE driver for
Windows. You must install Windows before you install the IDE
driver for Windows.
Follow these steps to install the IDE drivers:
1. Insert Drivers Diskette 2 in drive A
2.
Log onto the IDE subdirectory on drive A.

Follow the instructions on the screen to install the IDE
drivers on your hard disk. This installation program
changes your computer’s CONFIG.SYS file so the system
loads the IDE drivers at startup. If you select the IDE driver
for Windows, this program also modifies the SYSTEM.INI
file for Windows.
After you install the drivers, the system reboots.
Note
Not all hard disk drives can take full advantage of the local
bus IDE interface. To take advantage of this feature, your
hard disk drive must support a 32-bit data path that uses
double-word I/O. To find out whether your hard drive uses
double-word I/O, see the hardware specifications for the
drive or contact the drive manufacturer and request a
product specification.
