What to Do

  1. Download the XP(SP2) drivers of your device. It might also work with windows 2000 drivers, but I haven't tested that.
  2. Download winrar and install it.
  3. Right click on the drivers exe file and extract it with winrar.
  4. Go to Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager.
  5. Select the device you want the drivers to install, right click on the device and select update driver.
  6. Select install from a specific location.
  7. Select the location of the drivers (.inf files).
  8. Press next and Windows should discover your device.

Done

You can now configure you newly added device on your WHS!
