- TITLE :Changing Setup Media, Description of Setup Information Files
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- Windows NT Setup copies setup information files designed for the media
- Setup is running from. If you install Windows NT from floppy disks,
- setup information files containing directions and disk numbers for
- floppy disks are copied to your hard disk drive. If you later need to
- use files from a CD-ROM disc, Windows NT Setup prompts you for floppy
- disks.
-
- You can change the source media for a given device driver or Windows
- NT component by copying the appropriate setup information file to your
- Windows NT \SYSTEM32 subdirectory. In this manner, you can install new
- device drivers and components from any media you choose.
-
- The names and locations of the setup information files you need are
- listed later in this article in the section titled "Setup Information
- Filenames, Descriptions, and Locations." The following example
- describes how to install a new pointing device or mouse driver.
-
- INSTALLING A NEW MOUSE DRIVER FROM FLOPPY DISKS
- ===============================================
-
- To install a new pointing device or mouse driver from floppy disks
- after installing Windows NT Advanced Server from a compact disc, use
- the following procedure:
-
- NOTE: To install a different type of device or component, see the
- following section, "Setup Information Filenames, Descriptions, and
- Locations." Substitute the appropriate filename and disk for
- POINTER.IN_ and "Disk 2" respectively.
-
- 1. Insert the disk labeled "Disk 2" from the Microsoft Windows NT
- Advanced Server 3.1 disk set.
-
- 2. Start Command Prompt from the Main group in Program Manager.
-
- 3. Go to the \SYSTEM32 subdirectory.
-
- 4. Substitute the appropriate floppy disk drive letter for <floppy
- disk drive> in the following command line:
-
- expand <floppy disk drive>:\pointer.in_ pointer.inf
-
- NOTE: Some information files are not compressed and do not need to be
- expanded. For example, the PRINTER.INF file is not compressed. If this
- is the case, substitute the COPY command for EXPAND.
-
- 5. Use Registry Editor to modify the SourcePath value to point to the
- appropriate drive and path of the new source media in the following
- Registry key:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT
- \CurrentVersion
-
- WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious,
- system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to
- correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting
- from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your
- own risk.
-
- 6. Start Setup to install the new device driver as you would usually
- do.
-
- You are now prompted for the appropriate floppy disk instead of a CD-
- ROM disc.
-
- SETUP INFORMATION FILENAMES, DESCRIPTIONS, AND LOCATIONS
- =========================================================
-
- Setup information files are listed by file name and include short
- descriptions and disk locations. The disk locations are listed for
- both Windows NT and Windows NT Advanced Server, in that order.
-
- NOTE: If you want to install a device driver from a CD-ROM disc after
- having installed Windows NT from floppy disks, copy the appropriate
- setup information file from the CD-ROM disc.
