Diskettes Then... Select Run from the Windows Start menu and enter the following command (assuming the diskette drive is A): A:\setup.exe Select Run from the Windows Start menu and enter the following command (assuming the CD-ROM drive is D): D:\BSSTOOLS\BTSW\AV01A\ setup.exe *) *) BSSTOOLS\BTSW\AV01A path is an example and can be different because it depends on software version and kind of installation on the CD-ROM. A CD-ROM available as one file BTSW *.* (e.g., BTSW AV01.exe) Copy the file to the hard disk. Run the file to generate the subdirectories disk1 to disk 3. Run setup.exe on the subdirectory disk1 to start the installation process.
