Installing Driver for Windows 2000, Server 2003, and XP:

1. Start Windows and insert the Driver CD into the CD-ROM drive, assume drive D.
2. Windows will automatically detect the PCI-Express I/O card. Select "No, not this time" and click the Next button to continue.
3. Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click on the Next button.
4. Uncheck "Search removable media" and check "Include this location in the search", and then click the Browse button to select the location for the drivers, assume the operating system used in Windows XP 32bit:

D:\Moschip\MCS9901\Win2K\_XP\_2003Server

1. Click the OK button to confirm and click Next button to continue.
2. If the wizard asks for Windows Logo testing to verify compatibility, click Continue Anyway.
