4. Driver Installation (Windows XP, Windows Server 2003)
This chapter is intended to guide the reader through the process of installing the system driver for
the Windows operating systems. The screenshots in this chapter are taken from Windows XP, the
installation process for other listed OS is analogical, otherwise the differences are stated in text.
If you are running Windows XP SP 1, temporarily disconnect your PC from the Internet. This can be
done by either removing the network cable from your PC or by disabling your network card by going to
the „Control Panel\Network and Dial-Up Connections“, right-clicking on the appropriate connection and
selecting „Disable“ from the menu. The connection can be re-enabled after the installation is complete.
This is not necessary under Windows XP SP 2 if configured to ask before connecting to Windows
Update. Windows XP SP 2 can have the settings for Windows Update changed through „Control Panel\
System“ then select the „Hardware“ tab and click „Windows Update“.
1) Turn on the PC, log in as a user with administrator privileges and connect the device to a spare USB
port on your PC.
2) The Windows Found New Hardware Wizard will launch and the screen shown in Figure 3 is
displayed. Select „No, not this time“ from the options available and then click „Next“ to proceed with
the installation.
3) Under Windows
XP select „Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)“ as shown in Figure 4,
then click „Next“.
