When you have completed the setting of the Basic Parameters, Windows will finish building the driver
configuration database and copy some files to your computer’s hard disk.

• If the Windows operating system prompts you to identify the location of the Windows files,

specify the drive and directory of the Windows Installation CD-ROM or the CAB files that may be
on your hard drive. If you have had a USB Client installed on your computer before, most of
these files are already available on your hard disk drive. If you do not have the Windows
CD-ROM available, you may try replacing the proposed path in the Copy Files From dialog box
with: “C:\Windows\System” or “C:\Windows\”
