Installation Instructions
-------------------------
Note: This utility is a bootable diskette program, so you need
      to prepare a floppy disk drive (FDD) for your ThinkPad.
      Please consult documentation accompanied with your ThinkPad system.
      If you encounter a problem attaching a FDD to your ThinkPad,
      please call your local Help Center.

1.  Place a blank, formatted floppy diskette in the A: drive.
2.  Close all open applications
3.  Click the file link above to download the file from the Web page.
4.  When prompted, select a drive and directory in which to save the
    downloaded file.
5.  Run the Fwdm0101.exe file you downloaded to create the bootable 
    diskette.
6.  Follow the instructions on the screen to create the diskette.
7.  When the diskette has been created, place the diskette in the 
    ThinkPad system that has the Multi-Recorder drive to be updated.
8.  Boot the system from the diskette.
9.  Drives that have been detected will be listed in the upper area of
    the Main Menu.  If a drive that requires an update is detected, it
    will be shown with a blinking mark on the left. If you find no
    blinking marks, your Multi-Recorder drive has latest firmware and it
    is not necessry to update. Please remove this diskette and shutdown 
    your ThinkPad.
10. Follow the instructions on the screen to update the necessary
    Multi-Recorder drives.
11. When the installation is complete, remove the Firmware Update
    Utility diskette from the floppy disk drive and power off your
    ThinkPad system. Do not restart the ThinkPad system with the
    ctrl-alt-del keys.

Attention:  Please do not power off the ThinkPad during while the 
            firmware is being updated.  Doing so could cause the 
            Multi-Recorder drive to fail.

Notes:
 - The update utility may not find a Multi-Recorder drive in a Docking
   Station. Remove the drive and install it in a device bay of your
   ThinkPad and boot this diskette. If you encounter a problem 
   installing the Multi-Recorder drive in the ThinkPad, call your 
   local Support Center.
 - The diskette contains several executable files other than FW.EXE.
   DO NOT RUN THESE PROGRAMS. Running these programs other than
   FW.EXE could ruin your Multi-Recorder drive.
-  In Windows XP, after updating the firmware, boot the machine and
   shut it down again. This is necessary for the registry changes to be 
   recognized.
