Bus-Mastering EIDE Driver for Windows NT 4.0
Dell has installed the Microsoft-updated Advanced Technology Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) driver for your operating system, and it is
operative when you receive your computer. No further installation or configuration is needed.
To reinstall the Microsoft-updated ATAPI driver for Windows NT 4.0, perform the following steps:
NOTE: If you reinstall Windows 95, you must use either the Windows 95 operating system release version provided by Dell or its
equivalent. Because of the advanced architecture of your Dell OptiPlex GX110 system, some components will not function correctly with
Windows 95 versions earlier than Service Release 2.1.
NOTE: If you reinstall Windows NT 4.0, you must also reinstall the Microsoft-updated ATAPI driver. To do so, you must have a mouse
connected to the system, and Windows NT 4.0 must already be installed on the hard-disk drive connected to the primary EIDE channel.
