1.2.1 Installing or Upgrading Device Drivers for Windows NT Workstation 4.0 and
Windows 2000 Professional
To install hardware devices such as a printer, a display adapter, or network adapter after the
operating system installation is completed, the operating system needs access to the appropriate
software drivers for the devices.
The I386 directory and its subdirectories provide the Compaq-specific integration of the operating
system for the computer model and include device drivers supported by Windows NT.
When prompted for the I386 directory on the operating system CD, replace the path specification
with C:\I386 or use the browse button of the dialog box to browse the computer for the I386
folder. For Windows NT 4.0, reapply Service Pack 6A by clicking its icon located on the
computer desktop. For Windows 2000, no further steps are required.
