# Make an Installation Diskette

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 copies the appropriate driver software for desktop, server, mobile and wireless LAN products, for the following operating systems:

- Windows* (9x, Me, NT* 4.0, 2000, XP)

- NetWare*

- DOS, DOS ODI

| NOTE: Each adapter supports a specific subset of these operating systems.
| NOTE: Some of these installations may require two floppy disks.

You can run MAKEDISK either from either a command prompt or from the autorun program on the Intel CD (or downloaded Intel software package):

### Running MAKEDISK from the Autorun screen

1. Insert the Intel CD in the CD-ROM drive. The CD's autorun program automatically starts. (If you are staring with a downloaded installation package, navigate to the respective directory using your Windows Explorer program.)

2. To start the autorun program manually, double-click autorun.exe in the root directory of the Intel media (CD or downloaded software package).

3. Click Create Install Disk.

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

5. Click on the name of the target operating system.

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

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

### Running MAKEDISK from a command prompt window

1. Insert a formatted floppy disk in your disk 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 Destination <Enter>

where OS is the operating system driver to be copied, and Destination is the destination floppy drive letter (e.g., A:). Supported operating systems include:

> XP64 | Microsoft Windows XP/64 (Intel® Itanium™-based platforms)
> XP | Microsoft Windows XP (32-bit platforms)
> W2K | Microsoft Windows 2000
> NT | Microsoft Windows NT
> W9X | Microsoft Windows 95/98/Millennium
> NW | Novell NetWare servers and clients
> DOS | Microsoft DOS, DOS ODI and IBM OS/2
> Modem | Modem drivers for the PRO/100 Mobile Adapter (All supported Microsoft operating systems)

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 II is also copied.
