Solving Hardware Installation Problems
You may need to reconfigure the computer when you add or remove
hardware, such as an additional diskette drive. If you install a plug
and play device, Windows 2000 and Windows XP automatically
recognize the device and configure the computer. If you install a
non–plug and play device, you must reconfigure the computer after
completing installation of the new hardware. In Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, select the Add New Hardware icon in the Control Panel
and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
