SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install the D-link DE-220 ISA Ethernet Adapter from The Control Panel Network utility, you will receive the following error.

Please insert the disk labeled 'Windows NT Workstation CD-ROM' into 

where  is the drive letter of your CD-ROM.

Neither the Windows NT Server or Windows NT Workstation CD-ROM will work. No matter what path is defined, the message just repeats itself. The only option is to cancel.



CAUSE
When you install the D-Link DE-220 ISA Ethernet Adapter, Control Panel pulls the driver and the oemsetup file from the following path:

  :\I386\Drvlib.nic\Ne2k.isa\

The first time that the driver is installed, the Oemsetup.inf file will be saved as Oemnad0.inf in the %SytemRoot%\System32 directory. Repeated attempts to install will result in the setup file being copied as oemnadx.inf where x is incremented in each subsequent installation.



RESOLUTION
To correct this problem, the Oemnad0.inf file must be edited. The file is located in the %SystemRoot%\System32 directory. To edit this file, perform the following steps:  Open the file in Notepad.  Search for the text string: [Source Media Descriptions]. Immediately below this text will be the following text.

  1 = "Windows NT Workstation DRVLIB" 2 = "Windows NT Workstation CD-ROM", TAGFILE = cdrom.w                         Delete the text after "CD-ROM". It should now look like this:

  1 = "Windows NT Workstation DRVLIB" 2 = "Windows NT Workstation CD-ROM"  Save the changes.</li></ol>

The driver will now install from either the Windows NT Workstation or Windows NT Server CD-ROM.

The OEMSETUP file can also be edited in the same way and the files placed on a floppy disk. Then use the <Have disk..> option in the Control Panel Network utility when installing the adapter.
