2.3 Allocation of the drive letter to the FREECOM drive under

Windows 98 SE / Windows ME (USB)

After successful installation, Windows assigns the FREECOM drive a new drive

letter automatically in most cases. This can shift the drive letter of an already

present drive (for example, from 'D' to 'E'). If this leads to problems, it is possible

to change the drive letter assignment as follows.

1. Click "Start" - "Settings" - "Control Panel".
2. Click "System".
3. Select "Device Manager" and click on "Drives" or "CD-ROM", if the FREECOM

drive you are using is a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, CD recorder or CD rewriteable.

4. Click the FREECOM drive, and then "Properties" - "Settings". (The currently

assigned drive letter as well as the reserved drive letters will then be displayed).

5. Under Reserved Drive Letter, enter a drive letter, for example, 'F' for the

FREECOM device as the "Start drive letter" and "F" again as the "Last drive

letter".

6. Confirm your entry with "OK". When you restart your computer, the FREECOM

drive will be assigned the letter "F" in "My Computer".

2.4 Installation under Windows 2000 (USB)

1. After the FREECOM Cable II USB is connected to the PC, the driver data base is

loaded automatically.

Note: If you are connecting a USB device to your computer for the first

time, you might be prompted to first install the special Windows 2000

drivers for USB from the Windows 2000 CD.

2. Now insert the FREECOM installation diskette/CD “Software for Cable II USB”

for Windows 2000 in the drive of your computer.

3. The “Hardware Installation Wizard” window appears on the screen. Click on

“Next”.
