Hardware Installation

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, 2000, or Me in most cases will automatically recognize the device and configures the computer. If a third-party Plug and Play device is not recognized, contact the device manufacturer. If you install a non–Plug and Play device, you must reconfigure the computer after completing installation of the new hardware. In Windows 98, 2000, or Me, 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 Workstation 4.0 after installing new hardware, use the utility provided with the hardware.
