Windows NT 4.0 Installation and Configuration
Notes
If Windows NT 4.0 Setup Hangs
During Windows NT 4.0 installation, the system may hang while
the Windows NT 4.0 Setup floppy disk is being used to copy the
device driver. A workaround is to start from a DOS boot disk,
create a DOS partition on the array using
fdisk
, then install
Windows NT 4.0 on the array.
Windows NT 4.0 Disk Administrator
When creating a new array on a system running under
Windows NT 4.0, the array is not listed as
usable
in the
Windows NT 4.0 Disk Administrator until it is initialized. This is
normal Windows NT 4.0 functionality.
