D Installing From Diskette
This appendix describes how to create installation diskettes from the EtherCD.
If your PC does not have a CD-ROM drive, access a PC that has a CD-ROM drive and
create installation diskettes from the EtherCD.
You can also download the EtherCD software and place it on diskettes from the 3Com
World Wide Web site:
http://www.3com.com/
Before you start, make sure that you have two blank, formatted diskettes. Label the
diskettes EtherDisk 1 and EtherDisk 2.
■ EtherDisk 1 contains:
■ NDIS 3/4/5 drivers
■ NetWare server drivers
■ Windows for Workgroup drivers
■ NIC preinstallation program
■ README.TXT file
■ EtherDisk 2 contains:
■ NDIS 2 driver
■ PACKET driver
■ Help text files
■ DOS utilities
To create installation diskettes from the EtherCD:
1 Turn on the power to the PC and start Windows.
2 Insert the EtherCD in the CD-ROM drive.
The EtherCD Welcome screen appears.
If the EtherCD Welcome screen does not appear, enter the following command from
the Run option of the Windows Start menu:
d:\installs\setup.exe
where d:\ represents the letter name of the CD-ROM drive.
3 Click NIC Software.
4 Click NIC Drivers and Diagnostics.
5 Click Installation Utilities.
6 Click Create Installation Diskettes.
The EtherCD Diskette Creation Utility Welcome screen appears.
NOTE: The installation diskettes allow you to install only the driver. If you want to
install the NIC diagnostics or desktop management software, you must install
them from the EtherCD.
