This series of mainboards will always be shipped with a Support
CD which contains those necessary driver files, Application Softwares
and some helpful utilities. It is a user-friendly, auto-run CD which
will open itself up in a CD-ROM automatically.

For 85SD-C, user should be able to find in the Supported CD the
following drivers and utilities supported by Intel 845 Chipset:
1. INF Utility (Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility);

This chapter is devoted to describing the installations of all these

Windows 2000 and Windows XP. The installation procedures for
all these operating sistems are all programed into an auto-run mode.
