Building Driver Diskettes

There are four methods of building SDMS™ driver installation diskettes. The first three methods use self-extracting image files to create these diskettes. Some operating systems and/or web browsers may cause problems with the self-extracting process. If you experience difficulty with a method, try the subsequent methods.

Method 1

If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, the tables below contain links to self-extracting image files for the driver installation diskettes. Follow these steps to build your diskettes:

  1. Insert a blank 3.5-inch diskette into your A: drive and click on an operating system to build the corresponding diskette.

  2. The software is safe. If you are asked whether you wish to download the file or run it from its current location, choose the latter. If you get a security warning stating that the object is unknown to the trust provider, simply click Yes to proceed with the installation.

    3.

  3. If you choose to download the file, you will need your A:drive to extract the image. Do not download to a diskette unless you have a second diskette drive in your system.

Method 2

If you are not using Microsoft Internet Explorer to view this page and are using a Windows-based system, follow these steps:

  1. Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to go to the directory below.

    2. {CD-ROM Drive letter}:\DISKIMAG

  2. Double click on the compressed executable image for your operating system to build the driver installation diskette. The names of the self-extracting image files indicate the appropriate operating system.

  3. The software is safe. If you are asked whether you wish to download the file or run it from its current location, choose the latter. If you get a security warning stating that the object is unknown to the trust provider, simply click Yes to proceed with the installation.

  4. If you choose to download the file, you will need your A: drive to extract the image. Do not download to a diskette unless you have a second diskette drive in your system.

Method 3

If you do not wish to use Windows Explorer or My Computer, follow these steps:

  1. Open a DOS window.

  2. The directory below contains the self-extracting image files.

    3.

    {CD-ROM Drive letter}:\DISKIMAG

  3. Either change to the directory or copy the self-extracting image file for your operating system to a local drive.

  4. Run the self-extracting image file from a command line prompt in your DOS window.

Method 4

If your operating system does not support the use of self-extracting image files, follow these steps:

  1. You can make installation diskettes by copying the files from the appropriate operating system subdirectory under:

    {CD-ROM Drive letter}:\DRIVERS\8XX-1010

  2. If you are using a UNIX-based operating system, the subdirectory will be under:

    {CD-ROM Mount Point}/drivers/8xx-1010/unixes

  3. Consult the documentation in the appropriate directory before proceeding.
