Adaptec Ultra320 SCSI Cards User's Guide Installing the Driver When Installing Windows NT The adpu320.sys driver is not embedded on the Windows NT 4.0 installation disks (or CD) and must be added during Windows NT 4.0 installation. Note: Adaptec recommends that you install Windows NT 4.0 onto a hard disk with a primary active FAT 16 partition, 2 GB or smaller. Once Windows NT 4.0 is installed and configured properly, you can use the Convert command to convert the drive to NTFS. This minimizes the number of variables involved during the installation process and therefore reduces the possibility of problems. Note: In order to add or remove SCSI controllers from Windows NT you must be logged on as Administrator.
