Creating a network adapter driver install disk

Follow these steps to create a driver utility disk. Instructions are for Windows XP* or Windows Server 2003*, 32-bit editions.

  1. Download the latest driver package (PROWin32.exe) from Download Center.
  2. Create a temporary folder for the extracted driver files. (Example: C:\Temporary)
  3. Open a command-line prompt window:
    • Go to the directory where the downloaded driver file was saved and enter “PROWin32.exe /s /e /f c:\Temporary”.
    • When you see the command prompt again, the files have been extracted successfully.
  4. Using Windows* Explorer, go to the temporary directory where the files are extracted.
    • Depending on the device installed on the system, go to either PRO100 or PRO1000 folder.
    • Under “Win32” folder, search for the files listed below:
      PRO 100 Adapters PRO 1000 Adapters
      e100a325.inf
      e100ant5.inf
      e100b325.cat
      e100b325.din
      e100b325.inf
      e100b325.sys
      e100bmsg.dll
      e100bnt5.din
      e100bnt5.sys
      NicCo.dll
      NicInst.dll
      PROUnstl.exe
      e1000msg.dll
      e1000nt5.din
      E1000NT5.SYS
      e1000325.cat

      E1000325.sys
      NicCo.dll
      NicEtCo.dll
      NicInst.dll
      PROUnstl.exe
  5. Copy the files listed to the preferred media (floppy disk, USB thumb drive or recordable optical device).
