Insert the boot floppy for Windows NT4.0 and exit Navigator to reboot the server. 2. When Setup prompts to detect mass storage devices, skip detection and manually specify the mass storage drivers: 3.

If you are using the embedded SCSI channels, load the Symbios driver at this time. 4. Continue the installation and select the following options when prompted: • Choose the unpartitioned space and install Windows NT. • Choose NTFS file system HP NetServer Installation Guide 17
