TITLE   :Using AccuLogic IDE Controllers with Windows NT
PRODUCT :Windows NT
PROD/VER:3.10
OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
KEYWORDS:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
 - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Windows NT may hang on disk 9 during Setup when an AccuLogic IDE controller
is installed and the ROM BIOS on this controller is enabled.

If you install from a CD-ROM, an Unexpected DOS Error 11 may occur within
Windows NT when it accesses the floppy disk drive. This error message has
been seen while installing the Windows NT Service Pack 1.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs when the AccuLogic IDE controller is configured with
the ROM BIOS enabled. The On-Board BIOS is typically used for IDE drive
types not directly supported by the systems ROM BIOS (that is, the
AccuLogic ROM BIOS is enabled).

RESOLUTION
==========

If your computers BIOS supports an IDE drive type that is similar to your
IDE hard drives actual or logical characteristics, it may be possible to
disable the AccuLogic ROM BIOS and use your computers ROM BIOS to support
the drive. This would allow setup from floppy to run successfully and will
avoid the Unexpected DOS Error.

For additional information on configuring the AccuLogic controller to work
in Windows NT, contact AccuLogic Technical Support at (714) 454-2441.

The AccuLogic IDE Controller is manufactured by AccuLogic, a vendor
independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise,
regarding this products' performance or reliability.
