4.1 Creating Driver Disks

When installing the OS manually, it is necessary to create driver installation disks

beforehand. Also, driver disks must be created when you add an expansion card

during server operation.

■ Preparation for Creating Driver Disks

You need floppy disks for driver disks. A floppy disk is necessary for each driver.

Driver disks are created using the ServerStart FloppyBuilder function. The FloppyBuilder function is

available in the following environments.

• Starting up the ServerStart system on a client computer (Recommended)

• Starting up the system from the ServerStart CD-ROM on the server

When creating driver disks the tools on a client computer, install ServerStart on the computer

beforehand. Install ServerStart according to "2.4 Preparation for Using ServerStart on a Client

Computer" ( pg.52).

If a different version of ServerStart has been installed, uninstall it and install the proper version. For

details on how to uninstall ServerStart, refer to "2.4.2 Uninstalling ServerStart" ( pg.54).

The FloppyBuilder function may not operate correctly if you start up ServerStart while ServerStart of a

different version is installed in the computer. Make sure to uninstall a different version of ServerStart.
