This installation procedure is specific only to the current version of the
driver and installation file.

NOTE:
    The driver (HPT3XX.MPD) and installation file (HPT3XX.INF) must be
    located on the same directory of the install floppy diskette.

Usually, when you plug the HPT370/372 IDE RAID host adapter into your
system and boot up the Windows 95/98/ME system, the system will detect the
HPT370/372 IDE RAID host adapter automatically, and ask you to install
the driver for HPT370/372. Follow the instructions as prompted by the system
to install the driver.

If Windows 95/98/ME does not automatically detect the HPT370/372 controller,
follow the instructions outlined below:

Using the Windows Add New Hardware function:
1. Close any running applications.

2. Open "My Computer".

3. Double click on the "Control Panel" icon.

4. Double click on the "Add New Hardware" icon.

5. Click on the "Next" button.

6. A window will ask: "Do you want Windows to search for new hardware?", select
   "No", then click on the "Next" button.

7. Various device types will be listed.  Select "SCSI controllers" and press "Next".

7. Insert the driver installation diskette into drive A, then click on the
   "Have Disk..." button.

8. Click on the "OK" button.

9. Click on the "Next" button.

10. If you see a window that displays the settings (resources) to be used by the
    driver, click on "Next"  again.  Windows will then install the driver.

11. Click on the "Finish" button.

12. The system will then ask you to restart the system.


NOTE: The driver for ACPI function is useful only if hardware supports ACPI function.
