To upgrade SCSI drivers for an existing SCSI board installation:
New SCSI drivers for your SCSI board may have been made available since your
board was installed and configured. We highly recommend that you upgrade your
SCSI drivers, because manufacturers are constantly improving and fixing bugs in
these drivers.
To upgrade, you will first need to obtain the latest available drivers from the web site
of your SCSI board’s manufacturer. Then download the driver onto a floppy or your
hard disk. Once you have the drivers, use the following procedure to upgrade:
1. Select Control Panel in My Computer.
2. Double-click on System.
3. Click on the tab called Device Manager at the top of the window.
4. In the new window of devices, double-click on SCSI Controllers. This displays
all the SCSI interface boards currently installed in your system.
5. Double-click on the SCSI controller for the PlexWriter.
6. Go to the Driver tab.
7. Click on Update Driver.
8. Click on Next.
9. Click on Other Locations.
10. Use the Browse button and go to the floppy or the folder of the hard disk.
11. Highlight the driver listed.
12. Click on OK
13. When the driver is updated you will be prompted to reboot your system.
To reboot your computer after installation:
1. Select Shut Down from the Start button.
2. In the Shut Down dialog box, select Restart the Computer and select Yes.
This will reboot your computer with the new configuration.
Troubleshooting Windows 95, 98, and ME SCSI Installations
If you followed the previous instructions, you should be up and running without any
problems.
•
If you have difficulty getting Windows 95, 98, or ME to recognize your CD-RW
drive and SCSI interface board, confirm that all of your hardware is operating
properly. This is best done by using a boot floppy disk with CD-ROM support, or
by simply installing DOS with the appropriate SCSI ASPI layer support and CD-
ROM drivers.
