DuraLAN Fast Ethernet NICs User’s Guide
Installing Windows XP (Classic View)
Installing Windows XP in classic view is almost identical to the
Windows 2000 procedure. Windows XP includes a DuraLAN NIC
driver embedded in the installation software. When you plug in a
Plug and Play device, Windows XP installs the necessary drivers,
updates the system, and allocates resources.
If you have difficulty starting the installation process, refer to
