The NetWare 5.1 installation program also prompts you to specify the version of NDS that you want to. Which is included on the NetWare 5.1 Novell Client. Before you install NetWare 5.1 on. These drivers represent the vast majority of all I/O devices supported by NetWare 5.1. Novell has made some important.

Hi, I am new bee to Novell, basically i was trying to Install Novell netware 5.1 on a system. I had booted the system with 5.1 cd and it goes thru all the installation, and somewhere in the middle of the installation it asks for the drivers for STORAGE DEVICES & NETWORK BOARD when i give some generic drivers, it says its not supported and stops the installatio.

I cant even skip this installation step. Basically i dont want this system on the network and want to test the installation as how it works and all.

So how can i do a simple netware 5.1 installation where in it should NOT ask me these questions as what drivers to be loaded. I am completely new to netware and hard to know about these drivers for storage devices, network. Please help!! --Thanks catherine RE: Novell Netware 5.1 Installation error?

HP Pavilion 4440 Hard drive is IDE Netword card what i have NIC = Netgear FA310TX This is what i see on the installation screen: ===================================================== The following device drivers were detected for this server. Add,change, or delete device drivers as needed.

DEVICE TYPE DRIVER NAMES Storage Devices IDECD,IDEHD Network Boards Netware Loadable Modules (optional) =========================================================== Let me know if you need anything else. --Thanks catherine RE: Novell Netware 5.1 Installation error?

I had changed the netgear NIC to some other Linksys card and when i had given some other drivers, it had taken them and went through the installation for that particular stage. Now after that it was asking me about the partition and i gave 3856MB for sys.

I had 4GB hard drive and 250mb i had given for boot partition and remaining i gave it for sys. Now after sometime i have another error coming up: ==================================================== An attempt to mount CD-ROM volume NW51 as a netware volume failed. Control will be switched to the system console screen where you may view the error explanation. (nwconfig-5-391) ====================================================== Now once i say continue it gives me errors like unable to load files, etc. And comes back to system console.

Do i need to load the drivers for cdrom too, how? I have one more quick, during installation if the system asks for the drivers for some devices, do i only have to select from the list or is they a way i can give the drivers which are there in my floppy drive? Like in windows when it asks for drivers i can give the path where the drivers are like A: floppy drive,,etc. --Thanks Catherine RE: Novell Netware 5.1 Installation error?

About the network drivers: Without knowing the model of the Linksys card, I can't tell whether or not it will work with NetWare.

In order to load a custom driver, you first go to the screen that lists all the available drivers. Press your INS key & another screen will pop up.
