Making Floppy Disks for NetWare and Windows Installation

You need to use a floppy disk to install the LAN drivers. Use the MAKEDISK.BAT utility located in the \LAN\I8255X\MAKEDISK directory on the CD.

MAKEDISK [operating system] [destination]

where [operating system] is the OS for which you are creating the diskette, and [destination] is the drive letter and path (such

as A:). If no destination is specified, the A: drive will be used.

The possible [operating system] options are:

NT = Microsoft Windows NT

W2K = Microsoft Windows* 2000

W9X = Microsoft Windows* 95 and Windows 98

NW = Novell NetWare servers and clients

DOS = Microsoft DOS and IBM OS2

Make sure you have a 1.44 MB formatted, non-bootable diskette in the floppy drive when using this utility.

NOTE: The utility MUST be run from the \LAN\I8255X \MAKEDISK directory.

Alternately, you can use the following .BAT files (located in the root directory on this CD) to simplify this process:

MAKEW9X.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 95 and Windows 98.

MAKENT.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows NT. MAKEW2K.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Windows 2000. MAKENW.BAT -- Creates a drivers disk for Novell NetWare

servers and clients.
