Windows 95 will notify you that new hardware has been found and is located in slot number “X.”
2When you are prompted to select the driver you want to install for your new hardware, select this option:
Driver from disk by hardware manufacturer
3Click OK.
4You are prompted to insert the manufacturer’s disk into the drive selected.
a Insert the EtherDisk diskette and click OK.
bIn the panel at the bottom of the dialog box, type the drive name and the path name from which Windows 95 should copy the manufacturer’s files.
(An information file on the diskette tells Windows 95 where to find the information it needs, for example A:\.)
5Click OK.
This imports the driver from the EtherDisk diskette.
For on-line help information about any of the fields in the Windows 95 display boxes, click the question mark (?) in the upper right corner of the box and move the cursor to the field of interest and click once again.
