YOU MUST INSTALL THE DRIVER SOFTWARE FOR THE ELCARD PCIBRIDGE DRIVE TO WORK!

Before you install the Elcard PCIBridge hardware, you should install the software drivers. This is so that Windows does not recognise the hardware and install it's own drivers that do not work with the Elcard PCIBridge hardware.

Once you have installed the Elcard PCIBridge drivers, you should power down and insert the hardware, then re-start your PC.

As Windows re-starts, you should see the "New hardware Wizard" detect the hardware and may be prompted for the Windows disks, just follow the on-screen instructions. At the end of this process, you should be asked to re-boot the machine. If Windows boots straight to the normal desktop, and you have not been instructed to re-boot your PC, you should do so now.

Once you have re-booted the PC, you can check the PC Card adapter is installed correctly by double clicking on the "PC Card (PCMCIA)" icon in the control panel (not Windows 2000). The number of PC Card slots you have should be displayed, you should then be able to insert a PC Card and information about the card should be displayed in this dialog box. In Windows 2000, Windows Me and Windows 9x, when you insert a PC Card, an icon should appear next to the clock in the task bar, you can double click on this icon to see the same details about the PC Card etc.

Windows XP:

The current version of the Elcard PCIBridge Windows 2000 driver also works with Windows XP. Just install it in the normal way and ignore the message indicating you should install Service Pack 1.
