Preliminary

The installation share is now ready. To perform installation, complete the following steps:

NOTE: These steps may be automated using batch files.

1.Boot the target system from a bootable MS-DOS diskette containing network drivers configured for the NIC in the system.

2.Log on to the network (as required) and map a drive to the network share where the Windows 95 installation files reside.

3.Partition and format the hard drive (if necessary). If you want to use the FAT32 file system (OSR2 or later only), you should enable large hard drive support in FDISK and create the desired partitioning size.

4.Copy files from the installation share to the local hard drive.

5.Execute the Windows 95 SETUP.EXE program and specify the MSBATCH.INF file as a command line parameter (i.e. SETUP.EXE /is /iw MSBATCH.INF).

Integrating Video Drivers

General Process

1.Download each required SoftPAQ to its own directory (under the N:\WIN95 directory) named for the contents (ex: N:\WIN95\ATI\ for the ATI Technologies video drivers) and execute the SoftPAQ. This will lay out the files in a directory structure specified by the SoftPAQ.

2.If there are DISKx subdirectories move the contents down one level. For Example ATI\DISK1 would move to ATI\.

3.Edit the [SourceDisksFiles] section in the driver’s installation INF (named in the Errata) to add the subdirectory name to all of the files listed
