When the computer and system detects a new device attached, an inquiry signal is sent to device requesting ID information. The Plug and Play compatible device responds with its identification code. The system searches for an ID in its device tables that matches the response. if a match is found it loads drivers for that device, tries to perform automatic configuration for the device and make it available for the software applications. If there is no matching device available, depending on the system and version in use, it may display available drivers and ask which to use or it may ask to search the internet or a manufacturers site for drivers or it may ask for the location of drivers on the system or it may declare the device not available.
