Microsoft Windows NT, Beta October 1992
"Please Insert Disk #6" error in text Setup on floppy installation
The Microsoft Windows NT product group has recently identified a floppy disk
setup problem with the October Beta release of Windows NT. On certain
systems, an error may occur during installation. When the message "Please
Insert Disk #6" appears, and Disk #6 is inserted and the error continues
to recur, the installation of Windows NT is prevented. If you attempt
floppy disk installation, you may experience this problem.
The behavior occurs due to a problem identified in the floppy driver provided
in the Beta release and FLOPPY.SYS was not attempting to retry the operation
in the presence of this error. If the error occurs, you will be unable to
complete installation from floppy disk which may leave your system in an
inconsistent state. Quit the Setup program and boot from an MS-DOS floppy
boot disk. The system may require that you run the MS-DOS SYS utility on
the hard drive to recover your environment. Follow the instructions below
before attempting to reinstall Windows NT again from floppy disk.
If you encounter this problem, please take the following steps to replace
the driver as instructed. We appreciate our customers efforts in
reporting problem areas and encourage you to continue working with us to
improve the product. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have
caused.
___________________________________________________________________________
If you utilize a system with only one 3.5" floppy disk drive, take the
following steps unless you have a double floppy drive system.
1. Insert the floppy disk into the floppy disk drive containing the
updated version of FLOPPY.SY$.
2. Using the File Manager or copy command, copy FLOPPY.SY$ located
on the patch diskette to a location on your hard disk. For example, File,
Copy, To: C:\.
3. Remove the patch diskette and insert Disk #6 of the Windows NT
floppy disk install set into the disk drive.
4. Using the File Manager, locate FLOPPY.SY$ on the hard drive and copy
directly to the root of Disk #6 replacing the failing driver. For example,
File, Copy, To: A:
5. You may now attempt to reinstall Windows NT from floppy disk.
