# Creating an Installation Disk

Installation disks are useful when you are loading drivers on systems that do not have a CD drive or a network connection. You can create installation disks using the MAKEDISK utility or by directly copying the appropriate files to a floppy disk.

The MAKEDISK utility supports the following operating systems:

- Windows* (NT* 4.0, 2000, XP)

- NetWare*

- DOS

- DOS ODI

| NOTE: This utility is not available for Unix-based systems.

You can run MAKEDISK either from:

- The IntelCD

- A command prompt

### Running MAKEDISK from the Autorun screen

1. Insert the Intel CD in the CD-ROM drive.
   The CD autorun program starts. You can also manually start the autorun program by double-clicking autorun.exe in the root directory of the Intel CD.

2. Click Create Install Disk.

3. Click the adapter type and click OK.
   The Create Install Disk dialog appears.

4. Click the targeted operating system.

5. In the destination drive drop-down list, click the appropriate drive.

6. Insert a blank disk into the disk drive then click Create Disk.

### Running MAKEDISK from a command prompt window

1. Place a formatted disk in your drive.

2. For NetWare, skip to step 3.
   For Windows, open a command prompt window from the Start menu:
   Select Run. Type "cmd" in the Run dialog, then click OK.

3. In the command prompt window, switch to the drive that contains the files. For example, type:
   E: <Enter>

4. Change to the \MAKEDISK directory.

5. At the command line type:
   MAKEDISK ( OS) A: <Enter>

where OS is the desired operating system and A: is your floppy drive letter. Supported operating systems include:

> NW = NetWare, DOS and DOS ODI
> NT = Windows NT 4.0
> W2K = Windows 2000
> XP = Windows XP (32- and 64-bit)

For Windows 2000 and XP, the Makedisk batch file will only copy the base driver files to your floppy disk.
For Windows NT, Intel PROSet is also copied.
