Some new devices for the ThinkPad 390E computer are not supported by the Windows 95 Retail Release Version and the Service Pack Version 1. In addition, some new files must be incorporated at the time of installation.

Installing Windows 95 OSR0 or OSR1

1. Create a Windows 95 supplementary diskette using the Diskette Factory program (refer to the User's Reference).

2. Make sure there is enough space in the hard disk to store the cabinet files and the installation programs (the required space might vary depending on the national language supported by your version of Windows 95).

3. Make a temporary directory.

   For example, enter at the DOS prompt:

   MD C:\WIN95
   

4. Copy all the cabinet (.CAB) files and the installation programs from the \WIN95 directory of the Windows 95 CD-ROM to this directory.

   For example, enter at the DOS prompt:

   COPY src_cd:\WIN95\*.* tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
   

   where src_cd is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (D, E,...), tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary directory that you made in step 3.

5. Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette drive.

6. Copy the updated files from the Windows 95 supplementary diskette to the temporary directory.

   For example, enter at the DOS prompt:

   where tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary directory that you made in step 3.

7. Install the operating system in the temporary directory by entering SETUP.EXE at the temporary directory prompt.

Refer to the Windows 95 documentation and the instructions that appear on the screen to complete the installation.

   COPY src_cd:\WIN95\*.* tgt_drv:\tgt_dir
   

   where src_cd is the drive letter of the CD-ROM drive (D, E,..), tgt_drv is the drive letter, and tgt_dir is the temporary directory that you made in step 3.

5. Insert the Windows 95 supplementary diskette into the diskette drive.

Installing the CD-ROM Device Driver for Windows 95

This section describes how to disable the unnecessary DOS and Windows CD-ROM device drivers.

• If you installed Windows 95 on a blank hard disk drive without DOS and Windows, Windows 98 has automatically installed a generic ATAPI CD-ROM device driver for your ThinkPad's CD-ROM drive. You do not need to do the following procedure.

• If you installed Windows 95 in a computer on which DOS and Windows had been already installed, you need to disable the DOS and Windows CD-ROM device drivers to use the correct Windows 98 generic ATAPI CD-ROM device driver.

To disable the DOS/Windows CD-ROM device drivers:

1. Start Windows 95 and go to the MS-DOS command prompt.

2. Open the CONFIG.SYS file with your text editor; then find the following line:

   DEVICE=C:\xxxxxx\CDROMDRV.SYS /R
   

   Note:

   xxxxxx is the subdirectory where you have installed the CD-ROM device driver. The default subdirectory for C:\xxxxxx is C:\CDROM.

   If you cannot find the line, quit the file and go to step 4.

3. Comment out the line to change it as follows:

   REM DEVICE=C:\xxxxxx\CDROMDRV.SYS /R
   

   If the line is already commented out, quit the file and go to the next step.

4. Open the AUTOEXEC.BAT file; then find the following line:

   C:\xxxxxx\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD001 /M:15 
   

   Note:

   xxxxxx is the subdirectory where you have installed the CD-ROM device driver. The default subdirectory for C:\xxxxxx is C:\CDROM.

   If you cannot find the line, quit the file and go to step 6.

5. Comment out the line to change it as follows:

   REM C:\xxxxxx\MSCDEX.EXE /D:TPCD001 /M:15
   

   If the line is already commented out, quit the file and go to the next step.

6. Exit the DOS command prompt; then reboot the system.
