Using Windows NT and the Host Adapter
This section contains useful information on using Windows NT and your host
adapter.
Removing a Host Adapter
Removing a host adapter can be as simple as physically removing it from the slot
when your computer is shut down. Windows NT boots and functions properly in this
configuration, but a Warning message is generated every time you boot Windows
NT.
To eliminate the Warning message, you must update the Windows NT software
configuration, as described below:
NOTE
The file hotp160m.reg adds Hot-Plug related entries into the
NT Registry, including the driver-specific registry value
/
HOTPLUG. Running hotp160m.reg will overwrite your
current driver-specific registry values located at:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\
Services\adpu160m\Parameters\Device\DriverPar
ameters
If you have previously added other driver specific registry
values, you should note them before running the
hotp160m.reg file. After running hotp160m.reg, you may
verify and restore those previously added driver-specific
registry values, if needed.
CAUTION
If you have removed a host adapter but still have other host
adapters of the same type installed in your computer,
do not
use Windows NT Setup to remove the device driver.
