Windows XP Driver Installation
This procedure installs the SYMMPI.SYS driver onto a new or existing
Windows XP system. You will receive a driver diskette that contains all the
drivers for the various Windows operating systems with your system
purchase or as part of your upgrade kit. This driver may also be found on the
CD that shipped with your system or may be found at the Dell support
website at support.dell.com. This driver diskette will provide a choice for
which driver version to install. You will use this diskette during the
installation process.

New System Installation

This procedure installs the SYMMPI.SYS driver onto a Windows XP
system. Use this procedure when installing Windows XP software onto an
unused drive. Windows XP software automatically adds the driver to the
registry and copies the driver to the appropriate directory. The method for
installing Windows XP software on a new system involves using a CD.
CD Installation
Start the Windows XP installation by booting from the Windows XP
1
CD.
Refer to your system's documentation.
The system BIOS must support booting from a CD. BIOS settings
may need to be changed to allow CD booting. Refer to your system's
documentation.
Press <F6> to install the SYMMPI.SYS driver when the screen
2
displays
"Press <F6> if you need to install a third party
SCSI or RAID driver".
NOTE: You must press <F6> in order for the new driver to be recognized.
Otherwise, the system does not recognize the devices controlled by the driver
during the Windows setup.
Choose S to specify an additional device when the screen displays
3
"Setup could not determine the type of one or more mass
storage devices...".
NOTE: If this screen is not displayed as the first user input, then the <F6>
key press was not seen by the setup program. Reboot the system and try again.
