Or, this package (including B57NT4UD.BAT batch file) can be in one path and driver files located in different directory. The B57NT4UD.BAT usage is as follows: B57NT4UD [RebootOption [SourcePath]] where: SourcePath : absolute path to the driver files default is the current directory RebootOption : 0 no reboot - default 1 reboot the machine without prompting the user 2 reboot the machine by prompting the user Example 1: this package is in 'f:\Update\WinNT' and driver is in 'f:\', with no rebooting machine option, do the following steps: a) Change directory to 'f:\Update\WinNT'. b) Type the command 'B57NT4UD 0 f:\'.

The log file is in the %systemroot%\system32 directory. For example: "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\MYCOMPUTER_B57NT4.LOG". A zero in this file indicates the update was successful, otherwise the update failed. The update will take effect at the next restart of the computer.
