Why you need IDEDRV.386 ? Microsoft Windows version 3.1 supports 32-bit disk access, but the disk data transfer between host and the IDE adapter is still limited by the 16-bit ISA bus. So If you want to speed up your hard disk drives access under Windows through the 32-bit VL-Bus, you should install this driver . 2. How to install IDEDRV.386 ? If you want to install IDEDRV.386 for Windows , please follow the the following steps . i. Copy the driver IDEDRV.386 into your system in the appropriate path. You had better to copy the driver IDEDRV.386 into the Windows SYSTEM directory. Ex. copy a:\idedrv.386 c:\windows\system (we assume idedrv.386 was in a: , and windows package was in c:\) ii. Check the file SYSTEM.INI , and make sure the following lines exist in the the [386Enh] section as below [386Enh] 32BitDiskAccess=ON device=*int13 If the statements do not exist, add them into the [386Enh] section. If the statements do exist, but the 32BitDiskAccess is set to "OFF", yoy should change it to "ON". iii. Install the virtual device driver "IDEDRV.386". Add the following command line into the [386Enh] section of the SYSTEM.INI file: device=[drive:][\path\]IDEDRV.386 where the [drive:] and [\path\] point to the directory that contains IDEDRV.386 file. Ex. device=c:\windows\system\idedrv.386 (we assume you copy the file idedrv.386 into c:\windows\system) *NOTE: setting idedrv.386 must specify the full path . iv . Delete the "device=*wdctrl" device setting. Delete the command line "device=*wdctrl" from the [386Enh] section of your SYSTEM.INI file, if it exists. v. Restart Windows , and it will bring up your PC with the new system configuration.
