Basic Troubleshooting
Solving Hardware Installation Problems
You may need to reconfigure the computer when you add or remove
hardware, such as an additional diskette drive. If you install a plug
and play device, Windows 98, Windows 2000, Windows XP
Professional and Windows XP Home automatically recognizes the
device and configures the computer. If you install a non–plug and
play device, you must reconfigure the computer after completing
installation of the new hardware. In Windows 98, Windows 2000,
Windows XP Professional and Windows XP Home , select the Add
New Hardware icon in the Control Panel and follow the instructions
that appear on the screen. To reconfigure the computer in
Windows NT 4.0 after installing new hardware, use the utility
provided with the hardware.
