Before You Start the Installation
Before you start the installation, you are advised to keep the Windows CD-ROM or software diskettes
close at hand. If your computer came with a factory-installed Windows operating system, these files may
be stored on your computer’s hard disk, in the form of cabinet (*.cab) files.
Check the drive name for the CD-ROM drive at “My Computer” icon. Normally it is D drive. Also,
check if the USB port is installed and working correctly at “Device Manager” under the “My Computer”
– “Property.” It is highly recommended to check for any other than BUFFALO WLI-USB-L11G Wireless
LAN Adapter and if there are other LAN cards disable them.
