on, the Add New Hardware Wizard should appear with
the message: “Found New Hardware --> USB 2.0 Storage
Adapter.” Click Next.
2. You will then see the message: “What do you want
Windows to do?” with two options. Select “Search for the
best driver for your device (Recommended).” Click Next.
3. In the next window that appears, check the box labeled
CD-ROM drive and insert the USB 2.0 Installation CD into
your CD drive. Click Next.
4. You will then see the message: “Windows is now ready
to install the best driver for this device…” Click Next.
5. Once the software installation is complete, you will see
the message “Windows has finished installing the software
that your new hardware device requires.” Click Finish and
then eject the CD. You should now see a new icon (a gray
box with a green arrow) next to the time display on your
