Installing the Software Driver for Windows NT Windows NT Installation and Configuration Notes Windows NT 1 GByte Partition Limitation During Windows NT installation, if your system configuration has multiple arrays and/or single drives, Windows NT limits the size of the system partition you can create to 1 GByte. To work around this 1 GByte limitation, try the following: s During Windows NT installation, create the 1 GByte partition (do not finish setup); reboot the system and then delete the partition. This allows Windows NT Setup to create a system partition larger than 1 GByte, but limited to 4 GBytes or 1024 cylinders of data, whichever is less. or s Using MS-DOS, create a partition using fdisk. During Windows NT installation, delete the partition created with MS-DOS. This allows Windows NT Setup to create a system partition larger than 1 GByte, but limited to 4 GBytes or 1024 cylinders of data, whichever is less. If Windows NT Setup Hangs During Windows NT installation, the system may hang while the Windows NT Setup floppy disk is being used to copy the SCSI disk device driver. A workaround is to boot from a DOS boot disk, create a DOS partition on the array using fdisk, and then install Windows NT on the array. Windows NT Disk Administrator When creating a new array on a system running under Windows NT, the array is not listed as "usable" in the NT Disk Administrator until it is initialized. This is normal Windows NT functionality. 4-5 Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine
